About Laura
Laura Marshall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for common struggles like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Laura speaks English and connects with people in a straightforward, calm way that parents often find reassuring.
She uses clear, hands-on methods to address stress, mood problems, and trauma. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and building coping skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Laura also works with issues such as substance use, body image, self-harm, and shame. Her background includes long-term clinical practice with young people and adults. That experience shapes a style that balances structure with empathy.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person's needs. Laura aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Expect concrete tools, brief experiments between sessions, and a focus on things that make a real difference at home, school, or work.
Conversations are goal-oriented and paced to match what the person can manage. Parents reading about support for attention and behavior will find an emphasis on skills that help with focus, routine, and emotional control. Laura helps people break problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes that can improve mood and focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with mood swings, self-harm urges, and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person or parent to pick methods that match goals, challenges, and day-to-day routines. That discussion can change as progress is made, so methods are adjusted based on what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging lets people check in, send quick updates, or use shorter coaching-style contacts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently over time.
