How her approaches work remotely

Laura uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people understand feelings and change unhelpful patterns. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, anger, and mood challenges. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and aims to improve how people connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She partners with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let someone use strategies learned in sessions during real-life moments, making practice more immediate and relevant.
