About Laura

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on her life experience and three years of clinical work to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or parenting strains. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.

Clients can expect a warm, straightforward style that mixes conversation with skills practice. She uses everyday language and focuses on small, doable changes. Sessions often address motivation, coping with loss, and rebuilding purpose after major life shifts.

Her background includes a Master of Divinity with a counseling focus and post-graduate training from Rutgers University and Princeton. Those studies inform a perspective that blends emotional care with values and meaning. The LCSW credential is noted as Florida LCSW.

In sessions she offers structured tools and reflective listening. Techniques come from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based work, and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered and motivational methods to support change.

People seeking help for trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, addictions, or complicated grief will find attention to practical steps and personal resilience. She emphasizes partnership and clear goals so progress can be measured in everyday life.

Laura invites those ready to begin a process of change to consider what matters most to them and to take concrete steps toward those aims.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep difficulties, and improving daily routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional responses. This approach can help with intimacy issues, codependency, and relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques and pacing as progress and comfort grow.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how you will connect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and have more consistent check-ins. It also allows options for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better fits a person’s routine.
