About Laura
Laura Husband is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of practice in community mental health. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by family and relationship problems. She also works with people coping with trauma, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and mood challenges.
She sees the relationship between client and therapist as the starting point for change. Sessions are grounded in a person-centered approach that helps people feel heard and accepted while they set practical goals.
Background and approach
Laura draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotional regulation skills. Mindfulness practices are used to help reduce rumination and improve focus. Emotionally focused ideas support clearer communication and stronger connection in close relationships.
Motivational interviewing techniques are available when people want help finding direction and sustaining change. Laura has extensive experience in community mental health settings, including work with people who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual trauma. That background informs a trauma-aware approach that moves at the client’s pace while teaching concrete skills for coping and recovery.
Her style is compassionate and affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities. She aims to help clients identify priorities, try small experiments between sessions, and build routines that reduce stress and increase daily functioning.
Approach-focused online therapy for practical change
Laura often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet people where they are. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when intense emotions or impulsive behavior get in the way of goals. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be practiced between sessions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options are chosen to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
