About Laura
Laura Cartwright is a licensed professional counselor with a focus on practical, evidence-based care. She holds the LPC-MHSP credential and practices in Tennessee. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk about what matters and begin making changes.
She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to address stress and anxiety, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, and problems related to addiction. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Other areas she works with include self-esteem, anger, ADHD, and relationship and family challenges. In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to the person in front of her. That means tailoring tools and strategies to match a person’s goals and life situation.
She emphasizes clear, down-to-earth guidance rather than medical jargon. Her practice includes attention to issues that touch identity and relationships, such as LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, as well as communication problems, codependency, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She also addresses family of origin issues and difficulties that follow divorce and separation.
People come to her wanting support through transitions and for help managing intense feelings or recurring patterns. She encourages taking steady, manageable steps and offers practical coping skills alongside emotional support.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills people can apply right away. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify unhelpful thinking and teach specific coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational strategies support change for addiction-related behaviors by building internal motivation and stepwise goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit your situation. That plan can be adjusted over time based on how you respond.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit conversations into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access care from where they live in Tennessee. Licensed professionals can work with each person to find the most helpful mix of session types and pacing.
