How Laura's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals. This approach helps when people need someone to hear them and help sort through feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laura will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She checks in on progress and adjusts the plan as goals change. Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and using visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help people stay connected between sessions or fit support into busy days. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.Start online instead of waiting
