About Laura
Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings three years of professional practice to her work and draws on a long personal history of parenting and family life. Laura speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
She often helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, and relationship strain. She also addresses parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Laura includes coaching-style guidance when clients want help setting and reaching goals. Her approach mixes skills-based methods with attention to attachment and values. That means she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behavior.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters and commit to small changes. Sessions are grounded in a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s experience. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and build present-moment focus.
Laura emphasizes simple, doable practices that can fit into a busy life. People seeking support for family and parenting concerns will find her practical orientation useful. She works with a broad range of life challenges, including adoption and fertility matters, attachment questions, and recovery from loss.
Laura aims to be a steady guide while clients work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
How Laura’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify their values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are difficult. It works well for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and short homework tasks to improve mood and daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and helps people shift how they connect with others, which can be useful for relationship stress and parenting concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what techniques feel doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These options let people meet from home, keep continuity during life changes, and use shorter check-ins when helpful. The format supports flexible scheduling and ongoing access to tools and feedback between sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
