She focuses on helping women who are dealing with relationship pain, grief, trauma, and challenges to self-esteem.

Her approach begins with listening. Laura tailors conversations and plans to what the client needs most. She uses straightforward methods to help people cope with stress and manage anxiety in daily life.
How Laura works
Sessions aim to build confidence and clearer choices, not quick fixes. Laura draws on several therapeutic styles to match a person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a warm, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and understood. Psychodynamic ideas can be used to look at past patterns that still affect current relationships and feelings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and track progress.
This keeps work practical and action-oriented when people need immediate strategies. Together these tools help people move from feeling stuck to taking small, steady steps forward. Laura treats topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, infidelity, jealousy, and self-love.
She aims to create a space where clients can explore painful experiences and build new coping skills at their own pace.

Online support options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the conversation and feels heard. This approach helps people who need emotional validation, help processing feelings, or support making difficult decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and goal-focused. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and negative self-talk. CBT is often useful when someone wants tools they can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for deeper conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions or use written reflection when that feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
