About Laci

Laci Unruh is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She offers a steady, respectful presence and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and the fallout from trauma and loss. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients find clearer thinking and healthier routines.

She uses client-centered principles to shape each meeting, meeting people where they are and adjusting pace to individual needs.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, shows up in her work to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are woven in to support calm, attention, and stress management. Across 13 years of practice, Laci has supported people dealing with depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and various eating and sleeping struggles.

She also offers focus around attachment issues, self-esteem and body image, panic symptoms, and finding purpose during life transitions. Sessions are offered by a licensed counselor in Texas and conducted in English. Laci adapts tools to fit real-life schedules and keeps things direct and compassionate.

Her style aims to make it easier to try new coping skills and notice steady changes over time. If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and tailoring sessions to what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and makes it easier to try new ways of coping when life feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete steps to change negative thinking and unhelpful behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, mood shifts, and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress and anger.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, then mix approaches as needed. Sessions are adjusted over time so techniques match what is working and what is not.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to keep continuity during busy weeks, handle sudden stressors, and try shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. The format aims to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
