About Laura
Laura Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy struggles, eating issues, anger, career questions, life changes, coaching goals, and ADHD. Laura writes plainly and focuses on practical steps to make daily life easier.
She builds a working relationship first. That connection guides goal-setting and keeps work grounded in real needs.
How Laura works
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small changes that can improve mood and confidence. Laura encourages self-love as part of lasting mental health care. Her style blends evidence-based tools and a supportive listening approach.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept hard feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Laura also draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s values and choices central.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Motivational interviewing supports shifts in readiness and commitment to change. With eight years of clinical experience, she aims for straightforward, manageable steps rather than overwhelming assignments.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. The focus is on practical results that translate into daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and short experiments that people can practice between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person’s experience and choices, creating space for listeners to reflect and for the client to set the pace and direction.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to use and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
