About Laura
Laura Lee Adams uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience in Mississippi. Laura focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of feeling steady and connected.
She helps people navigate depression, grief, and relationship problems. Parenting and family concerns are also a regular focus, as are issues related to LGBT identity and coping with life changes.
How Laura works
Laura works with people facing addictions, sleep problems, anger, and questions about self-esteem or bipolar disorder. Her approach starts by listening to each person’s story and strengths. She believes clients know their lives best and uses that knowledge to set realistic goals together.
Sessions are practical and aimed at building skills people can use between meetings. Laura has many years of clinical experience across community and clinical settings. That background supports work with trauma, abuse, and complex family situations such as blended family stress, divorce, or separation.
She also addresses less-talked-about concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, and body image. People seeking help for first-responder stress, fertility-related strain, or challenges around BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual culture can find a nonjudgmental space here. She guides people through life transitions, forgiveness work, and coping with emptiness.
The focus is on small, manageable steps toward a steadier daily life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Laura Lee Adams uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning alternative ways to respond; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching clearer, calmer responses. Another approach centers on building coping skills and routines to manage sleep problems, anger, and mood swings, giving people concrete steps they can try between sessions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust the plan, and focus on strategies that fit daily life. Online therapy makes it easier to keep that work consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, on-the-go options for brief updates or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum toward their goals.Start online instead of waiting
