Background and approach
Laura uses conversational methods that prioritize what matters most to each person. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and build new habits. Mindfulness tools are used to calm the body and sharpen attention.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and stick with them. Laura has extensive experience supporting caregivers and people navigating midlife transitions. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and mood disorders.
This broad background shapes a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs. In sessions, she focuses on listening closely, asking clear questions, and offering practical strategies that can be tried between visits. The plan is made together, with real steps you can use at home or at work.
If someone wants help sorting feelings, improving relationships, or managing daily demands, Laura offers steady, experienced guidance.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in connection and learn new ways to relate that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood by changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you will test what helps most and adjust the plan as you go, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support short updates, homework check-ins, or brief problem-solving between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives across work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
