Laura Gannon

Laura Gannon is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make it easier to start conversations about hard feelings and life changes. She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels heavy. Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps clients can try between meetings. The tone is supportive and goal-focused rather than overly clinical. Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered work that follows the person's lead and cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and actions. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck and want to find reasons to change. Solution-focused strategies help set small, concrete goals and track progress. Laura has helped people with caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and midlife concerns alongside mood and addiction issues. She also supports those coping with loneliness, family conflict, and questions about life direction. Her experience includes many paths people take when they feel overwhelmed or unmotivated. Clients can expect direct conversations about goals and workable steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on collaboration - figuring out what helps each person most. To begin, she guides people through a simple intake and scheduling process so they can get started when they are ready.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps people name what matters most to them. This approach is useful for emotional concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions often include practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and small experiments to change behaviors, which can help with mood, anxiety, and eating-related patterns.

Motivational interviewing helps people who feel stuck find reasons to change. It uses questions and reflection to build motivation and clarify personal goals, often for substance use or other habit changes.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and may blend techniques as work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches translate well to remote sessions and the therapist will help tailor the work to what is practical and useful for each person.
