Laura Moore

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who brings 25 years of experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, and motivation. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the author of their own story and the therapist helps them build on existing strengths.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical support. Sessions focus on identifying what feels unhelpful and testing small changes that improve day-to-day life. Laura uses proven approaches to help with persistent worry, low mood, and difficulties with confidence and connection.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across a variety of life challenges. She helps people navigate grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and major life transitions. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image struggles, and questions around identity and sexuality.

Therapy draws on multiple methods, including acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These approaches are matched to the person and the issue at hand rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Sessions are offered in English and Laura works with clients in North Carolina and with international clients. Getting started generally involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and experiments, which often helps with worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy, giving people space to explore their experiences and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different techniques, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering more flexible scheduling across time zones for international clients. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises for video or phone sessions to keep sessions focused and practical.
