Laura Marshall

Laura Marshall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating and body image concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on small steps that can fit into everyday life.

She aims to help people notice unhelpful thinking and habits. From there she works with them to try new coping skills and routines. Sessions emphasize clear goals, steady progress, and real-world strategies that a person can use between meetings.

Laura has worked extensively with mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and addiction-related issues. She also supports people navigating relationship stress, parenting strain, and challenges around self-esteem and social anxiety. Eating and food-related issues and body image are included among her areas of focus.

Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She adapts these methods to each person's needs and pace rather than applying one fixed method.

Laura prefers straightforward collaboration: she and the client define goals, try concrete steps, and track what helps. This practical orientation is aimed at building skills for day-to-day life and coping with change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Laura often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication for people struggling with intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time to fit a person’s life and pace.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use video or phone options based on comfort, bandwidth, or whether a quiet space is available. Licensed professionals adapt the selected approaches to work well in remote sessions and focus on practical tools that can be used between meetings.
