About Laura
Laura Brum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, anger, grief, and stress. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps you can use right away.
She works in a conversational, interactive way. Sessions are meant to feel safe and down-to-earth rather than clinical or stiff. Laura avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to meet people where they are in everyday language.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques. She tailors a plan to each person's needs and focuses on what helps them move forward. That can mean changing unhelpful thinking, building emotion regulation skills, or addressing traumatic memories when needed.
She also supports people facing issues like attachment concerns, chronic pain or illness, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and isolation. Practical problem solving around career, parenting, intimacy, and self-esteem is part of her work as well. Laura believes therapy can be hopeful and sometimes even a little flexible or creative.
She helps people set achievable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time. If someone is ready to start making changes, she aims to offer steady support and clear steps forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters to the person. Online this means the therapist focuses on each person's goals and preferences and adjusts the pace and topics to match needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful patterns; online CBT often uses short exercises, homework, and clear skill practice that translate well to video or messaging. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication; those skills can be practiced in between sessions and reinforced via text or live chat.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and daily life and then recommend methods that seem likely to help. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change or progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a longer, face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited; live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice possible between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days, offer different ways to communicate, and make it easier to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
