About Laura
Laura Aiken is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers straightforward, compassionate support and practical strategies for everyday life. Laura listens first, then helps people find steps they can try between sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include client-centered work that follows the person's pace, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotional skills.
How Laura works
Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are also available to help people clarify goals and reshape unhelpful stories about themselves. Her background includes several years working in addiction settings and with drug courts and recovery homes. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style and an emphasis on problem-solving and relapse prevention when relevant.
Laura brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Sessions take a collaborative tone: she asks what matters most, helps set realistic goals, and adjusts methods as people progress. She often combines short skill exercises with longer conversations to make steady progress.
Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Laura conducts therapy in English and practices as an LPC in Georgia.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist creates space for people to bring what matters most and builds goals from those conversations. It helps with anxiety, depression, and identity concerns by centering the client's experience.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT-style work can include practicing breathing and grounding exercises during a video call and reviewing skill use between sessions, which helps with emotional ups and downs and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust techniques over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
