Laura Tellez, LCSW

Laura Tellez is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works in English and Spanish and brings over 12 years of experience to sessions. Her approach is respectful and steady, aimed at helping clients feel understood and more able to cope.

She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Laura also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Her work includes support around divorce, infidelity, isolation, and immigration-related strain.

Laura uses practical strategies tailored to each person. She shapes conversations and goals to fit what a client needs most. That can mean learning new thought habits, building small skills for everyday stress, or working through painful memories at a comfortable pace.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client. The therapist listens first, then suggests steps that can be tried between meetings. Simple, focused practices are mixed with deeper discussion when helpful.

People who choose Laura often want a clear plan and steady support while they make changes. She emphasizes compassion, clear communication, and goals you can measure as you go. To begin, she asks clients to describe what matters most and what they hope to change.

How Laura adapts common approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel heard and respected. It helps people clarify their goals and make decisions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes noticing thought patterns and trying small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often helps with stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy works at a pace set by the client to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily life; techniques vary based on what the person needs.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the work remains useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let someone pick a quieter moment for a check-in. It can also allow for shorter or more frequent meetings when that helps with progress. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you select the Start Therapy button so sessions can match your routine and goals.
