About Laura
Her work draws on individual and group therapy experience from community mental health, day treatment, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. She has worked with teens, adults, caregivers, and youth in varied settings and uses that background to guide practical care.
Laura describes her style as warm and nonjudgmental. She emphasizes compassion, respect, and an effort to meet each person where they are. Sessions center on the goals people bring, whether that means symptom relief, clearer insight, or improved daily functioning.
Her approach is integrative and tailored to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Motivational interviewing is included when people want help making behavior changes.
People often seek her help for stress, panic, grief, sleep problems, caregiver strain, body image, and issues linked to narcissism and attachment. She also works with concerns like compulsive impulses, anger, shame, and isolation. The emphasis is practical: talk through what’s happening now and build skills to cope.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive behaviors, which can help with anger, self-harm urges, and relationship reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then adapt methods to fit those needs. Plans are revisited as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the session options offered. Because specific formats are not listed in the profile, confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to use mindfulness practices between meetings and to practice new skills in real settings.
