Laci Struble

Laci Struble is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Iowa with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mood or behavior challenges. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make first appointments feel manageable for worried family members and individuals.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, grief, self-esteem, and addictions. She uses an integrative approach and draws from multiple methods to meet each person where they are. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.

In the room she prioritizes respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. She listens for what matters most and helps people build small, achievable changes.

When symptoms feel overwhelming, she helps clients break problems into manageable pieces. That can mean skill-building for mood regulation, trying new behaviors, or reworking unhelpful thinking patterns. The emphasis is on usable strategies that fit everyday life.

She tailors sessions to the individual, blending client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral techniques as needed. The goal is steady progress toward clearer routines, better coping, and improved day-to-day functioning.

How Laci’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space so the client can set the pace and priorities. It’s useful when someone needs a steady, understanding clinician to help them sort through problems and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by offering exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people who need tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, or reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way based on what proves most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a tight schedule, or let someone continue care when routines change. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
