About Laura
Laura Hank is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and listens closely so worried parents can say what matters most and feel heard from the first session. She works in Pennsylvania and brings 15 years of experience across schools, telehealth, and community outpatient settings.
That background informs how she tailors each session to fit a person's day-to-day life.
How Laura works
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as clearer ways to understand feelings and reactions. Her approach is gentle and goal-oriented. She uses client-centered methods to follow what the person needs.
Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and develop small behavioral changes that make a difference. Mindfulness strategies are used to calm the body and sharpen attention. Solution-focused conversations identify strengths and build on what already works, which can be helpful for parenting stress and trouble with relationships.
Laura aims to create clear plans that fit a client's routine. She helps parents and young adults develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and manage grief or trauma symptoms. Work in therapy is collaborative, with concrete tools to try between sessions and regular checks on progress.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the person's pace, reflects feelings, and helps the person find their own solutions, which is useful for relationship stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions use short exercises and homework to practice new thinking patterns and behaviors that reduce anxiety, low mood, and social fears.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is reviewed over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in real time.
