Laura uses clear, practical methods to help clients manage symptoms and restore day-to-day functioning.

How CBT and practical strategies fit into online therapy

Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them into more balanced ones. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and stress because it focuses on clear skills and steps to try between sessions.

Her work also emphasizes communication and attachment concerns. In sessions she helps people practice how they talk about needs, set boundaries, and rebuild trust in relationships. For trauma and abuse, she starts with coping and stabilization before moving into deeper processing at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different tools. Decisions about what to try next are made collaboratively, so the plan can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what works best for timing, length, and the kinds of exercises that will be most helpful for daily life.
