Background and approach
She also helps people looking to reconnect with their sense of purpose and build self-love. Laura blends practical tools and open conversation. She uses skills from cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and coach new behaviors.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and celebrate progress along the way. Her background includes long experience helping adults navigate life transitions and trauma-related concerns. The work tends to be paced to each person’s needs, combining reflection with actionable steps.
Sessions often move between processing feelings and trying out concrete strategies. People who reach out can expect steady listening, clear feedback, and a collaborative plan for change. Laura emphasizes what a person already does well and builds from those strengths.
She encourages practical experiments that make everyday tasks feel more manageable.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and emphasizes empathetic listening and respect. In sessions this looks like open conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping the client name priorities and build on their own strengths.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple tools to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps forward, and it pairs well with goal-focused work.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll adjust methods over time so sessions match what the person needs in the moment.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or written reflections. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
