About Laura
Laura Roland uses a practical, focused approach to help people move past long-standing patterns and distress. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience in Florida. Her manner is warm and direct, and she works with adults in individual sessions.
She helps people manage anxiety, stress, ADHD, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, attachment-related concerns, chronic pain or illness, and complicated grief including miscarriage and fertility loss.
How Laura works
Relationship and intimacy issues, codependency, boundaries, and emotional regulation are frequent areas of work. Laura blends several evidence-based approaches to fit each person. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavior tools to change unhelpful thinking and habits, and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate.
Dialectical behavior strategies can help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Her style is straightforward and supportive. Sessions often include worksheets, homework tasks, and weekly challenges to build new skills between meetings.
She encourages active participation and gradual change rather than quick fixes. People who want actionable steps and steady support tend to do well with her approach. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching process and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Approach-focused care through online therapy
Laura commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people clarify their goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings. CBT teaches concrete skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It is useful for mood, anxiety, and many day-to-day problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and related reactions when trauma symptoms are present.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, past history, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and do longer, in-depth work. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or steady contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling daily life.
