About Laurel
Laurel Boyer is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults through hard transitions and intense emotions. Her work centers on depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and grief in straightforward, practical ways.
Laurel uses a calm, nonjudgmental manner to make space for whatever a person brings. She listens first and then helps people name feelings and notice patterns that get in the way.
How Laurel works
Sessions aim to build coping skills and increase emotional resilience over time. Her background includes focused work with young adult issues and women's concerns, and she often helps people facing social anxiety or major life changes like divorce. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, compassion fatigue, and seasonal mood shifts.
Laurel draws from several therapeutic paths to match the client’s needs. She leans on client-centered techniques to follow the person's lead, uses mindfulness to stabilize strong emotions, and brings in existential ideas to explore meaning and direction. Hypnotherapy and Jungian concepts may be used when they fit a client’s goals.
People who prefer clear guidance and gentle challenge often find her style helpful. She combines short-term skills work with deeper personal reflection. The goal is to leave sessions with tools and a clearer sense of next steps.

Therapeutic approaches offered online and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead. The therapist listens deeply without judgment and helps people find clarity about their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for building trust and deciding what to work on next.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and manage intense emotions. It helps people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away, which can ease anxiety and mood struggles.
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, values, and life direction. It can help when someone feels stuck, faces big changes, or wants clearer priorities in life.
Laurel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Then she tailors methods so sessions fit the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that feels useful. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing brief support between sessions and flexible ways to reflect on what was discussed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life transitions.
