About Laura
Laura Angers Maddox helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience and offers straightforward support for common life struggles. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel understood and make manageable changes.
Laura uses talk therapy and practical tools to address depression, panic, addiction, and low self-esteem. She also helps with grief, intimacy concerns, anger, and career questions.
How Laura works
For people worried about trauma, she draws on trauma-focused methods adapted to each person’s needs. Her background includes counseling in offices, group homes, and in-home settings. That variety shaped a flexible way of working that focuses on real-life problems and workable steps forward.
She blends client-centered listening with structured techniques when helpful. Sessions include goal-focused strategies like cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation is needed. Solution-focused methods are used for quick, practical change and to build on strengths.
Laura aims to create a respectful space where people can try new ways of coping and communicating. People often start by identifying one or two problems to work on, then move at a pace that fits their life. Laura supports concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries, family of origin issues, sexual assault and abuse, and social anxiety.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients while practicing from Alabama.

How Laura’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy begins with listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and focuses on building trust, which helps when dealing with stress, relationship struggles, or self-esteem concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or address depression. This approach gives clear steps clients can use between appointments.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be helpful for anger, relationship conflicts, and emotion regulation by focusing on skills practice and problem-solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s situation, and adjust as needed. This collaborative process helps find what feels most useful and achievable.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and preferences.
