About Laci
Laci Struble is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience in Iowa. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps rather than jargon. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients handle day-to-day struggles and bigger life changes.
She uses clear, evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Client-centered principles guide sessions so people feel heard and respected while they set goals. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and priorities. Laci mixes methods and keeps things simple so clients can use what they learn between sessions.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and related concerns. Her background includes work with a range of presentations, from coping with life changes to more complex emotional patterns and behavioral issues. The focus stays practical - skills, small experiments, and problem-solving - so progress can be tracked over time.
Conversations are direct but compassionate, and the therapist aims to build trust quickly. People who want clear tools, steady support, and a respectful listening space are likely to find this style helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and respect, helping people clarify goals and feel understood so they can make changes at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors directly, breaking down problems into concrete steps and teaching practical skills to shift patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers focused tools for handling intense emotions and improving coping when stress feels overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most. That way the plan evolves from real experience rather than assumptions.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls and phone sessions let people meet face-to-face without travel, while live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and for using skills in everyday moments, so therapy can be practical and adaptable to changing needs.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
