About Laura
Laura Roland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults in individual sessions and focuses on anxiety, ADHD, relationship patterns, and trauma-related concerns. Her style is warm and direct, and she asks clients to be ready to do the work needed to change long-standing behaviors.
She helps people untangle patterns that keep repeating in relationships and attachment issues.
Background and approach
She also supports adults coping with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and the emotional fallout from complicated grief such as miscarriage or fertility loss. Practical tools are part of the work, not just talk. Her approach includes worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to practice new skills between sessions.
Laura uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and EMDR where appropriate. Sessions aim to build emotional regulation and better communication habits. Clients who prefer a therapist who is both straightforward and compassionate may find her approach helpful.
She emphasizes collaboration and keeps goals focused and concrete. Progress is measured by changes in day-to-day coping and clearer relationship patterns. Laura practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
She works with adults only and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling based on therapist availability.
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions let clients talk through relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time with a therapist's feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks big problems into smaller steps and teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT works well online because worksheets and exercises can be shared and reviewed during video or chat sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist meets clients where they are, discusses goals, and together they decide which methods to try first. If one approach needs adjustment, the plan can change as progress is tracked through regular check-ins.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - offer different practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist observe body language and use visual worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief sessions into a busy day or to follow up with written notes and homework between appointments. These options increase flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skill building and steady progress.
