Laura Roland, LPC, LMHC

Laura Roland is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on trauma, relationships, and anxiety. She brings 22 years of experience as an LPC and LMHC and works with adults in individual sessions. Her approach is direct and warm, aimed at helping people address patterns that keep causing pain.

She uses practical tools in session like worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to help people practice new skills between meetings. Sessions emphasize honest feedback, clear goals, and step-by-step changes rather than vague talk. Clients who want to try different strategies will find work that asks them to be active in the process.

Laura combines several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. That mix can include focusing on how early attachments shape current relationships, using cognitive behavior work to change thinking and behavior, and strategies from EMDR for processing traumatic memories. She explains methods plainly and helps people choose what fits their situation.

Common topics she helps people with include anxiety, ADHD, chronic pain and illness, codependency and boundary problems, grief and complicated loss, and recovery from emotional abuse. She also supports people dealing with career change, compassion fatigue, and attachment or abandonment concerns.

Her style is supportive and straightforward. She encourages clients who are ready to do the work and stays alongside them through the process. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session once a match is made.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. Online sessions using this approach help identify patterns in how people attach and respond to others, and then build different ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear steps and practice. In remote sessions this often means learning a skill in session and practicing it during the week with worksheets or short assignments.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process troubling memories that keep causing distress. When used remotely, the therapist explains the steps clearly and guides the person through processing while monitoring reactions and pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss experience, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit each person. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed explicitly here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, homework and worksheets are easy to share, and shorter check-ins or longer work sessions can be arranged to match needs. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods so therapy fits a person’s life and goals.
