About Laura

Laura Boettger is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on adults navigating difficult life changes, recovery from high-control groups or relationships, and trauma-related issues like dissociation. Her tone in sessions is supportive and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients feel understood and find practical next steps.

With ten years of professional experience, Laura offers flexible methods that range from nondirective conversation to more structured skills work. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also integrates Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. Laura works with people processing post-traumatic stress and complex trauma after high-control involvement.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. She helps clients sort through uncertainty, set manageable goals, and practice skills for emotional regulation. When trauma symptoms like intrusive memories or dissociation are present, she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address those responses.

Laura emphasizes practical supports during life transitions. Whether someone is questioning a relationship, leaving a controlling situation, or rebuilding a sense of self, she helps identify values and next steps. Sessions combine emotional processing with concrete coping tools.

People who choose Laura can expect a steady, experienced guide through painful or confusing periods. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and greater self-understanding.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Laura blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in ways that can work over distance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and build more steady ways of relating. EMDR is used to process distressing memories and the feelings tied to them; it aims to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions are collaborative so that clients can try techniques and give feedback about what helps most.

Confirm the therapist's available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during transitional periods. Some formats are simpler when needs call for a shorter check-in or less bandwidth, while others suit deeper processing; talk with the therapist about which arrangement would best support your goals.
