How Laura’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps with issues like relationship strain, grief, and family concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior and can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, doable steps toward a clear goal and is useful when someone wants quick, practical change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust based on how things are going. The goal is to match techniques to a person’s needs, preferences, and daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use approaches like CBT homework and goal tracking between meetings to make progress outside session time.
