About Laura
Laura adapts sessions to fit what a client needs most. She listens first, then works with the person to shape short- and long-term goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so everyday life feels more manageable.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple strategies to calm the mind and stay present. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the sessions grounded in the person’s own priorities.
She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods when those tools match a person’s goals. Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as progress is made. The work can include skill-building, new ways of relating, and processing difficult events.
Laura is based in Texas and works with adults seeking help for the issues listed above. She encourages anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed to consider a first conversation. Taking that step is often the start of measurable change.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means starting from your concerns and shaping each meeting around what matters most to you, whether that's improving communication or reducing anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and testing practical changes. Online CBT often includes simple exercises between sessions, worksheets, and step-by-step strategies to practice in daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and relaxation skills to reduce stress and improve focus. In virtual sessions the therapist can guide short practices and help you bring them into routine moments like work breaks or bedtime.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as you go. You’ll work together to pick tools that feel useful and realistic for your life.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using written exercises and audio-guided practices between appointments to keep progress moving.
