About Laci

Laci Unruh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and eating and food-related issues. She brings 13 years of counseling experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly. Laci works to help clients regain confidence and move forward from hard moments.

Her approach centers on the client. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and tailor each session to what the person needs that day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes. Mindfulness Therapy offers tools to notice emotions and ground attention in the present.

Laci often supports people facing grief, trauma or abuse, and those coping with addiction or life transitions. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Body image and eating-related struggles are noted areas of focus as well.

Sessions are paced to fit the person's goals and tolerance for change. Laci describes her role as a supportive guide who helps clients build skills, practice new ways of thinking, and try different behaviors between sessions. She encourages self-care and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose her can expect clear, plain-spoken guidance and a steady presence during difficult conversations. The work is collaborative, with attention to what matters most to the person in therapy.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to the person's pace and priorities. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them name concerns and set goals, which can make online sessions feel more personal and relevant.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work can include tracking patterns, practicing small behavioral experiments, and reviewing results together to change unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices translate well to online work because they are short, repeatable exercises people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person's goals and comfort level. That means trying a few techniques and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one path up front.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are set by the therapist. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to practice skills in real life between appointments. Online work can support steady progress by combining conversation, skills practice, and real-world experiments.
