How Laura's Approaches Work Online
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes that can improve mood and daily functioning. CBT often focuses on practical exercises, activity scheduling, and trying new ways of responding to stress.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and strengthen personal motivation. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify values and encourage gradual steps toward goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. They adjust methods over time based on what is working and what the person prefers.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone calls can work with lower bandwidth, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
