How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s viewpoint. The therapist follows the person’s lead and works to reflect what matters most to them, which helps with confidence and clarity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and practical behavior changes. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and some patterns that feed addiction or relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining skills from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Her biography highlights technology-assisted counseling and frequent messaging. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether live chat, phone, or video is offered at the time you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on progress rather than logistics. Licensed professionals can use these formats to carry out many common therapy tasks like skills practice, problem-solving, and goal review.
