About Laura
Laura Edmonds is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and changes in life. She works with individuals facing depression, grief, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy-related challenges. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear help and tools.
Laura treats mood concerns including bipolar disorder and panic attacks, and she addresses substance use and eating-related issues. She also helps people with family problems, communication struggles, codependency, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Background and approach
Her focus includes compassion fatigue and career-related stress as well. In sessions she keeps the work collaborative and goal-oriented. She listens to how people describe their struggles and then helps them try approaches that can change unhelpful patterns.
That may mean practicing new ways to talk with others, learning simple skills to calm anxiety, or taking small steps toward healthier habits. Her background includes three years of post-licensure experience as an LPC in Texas. Laura uses evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing, and she brings training in trauma-focused and solution-focused approaches.
She explains techniques in plain language and supports clients as they try practical changes. People who prefer flexible communication options can work with her through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the person’s needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful connection so people can set their own goals and feel understood; it helps with stress, grief, relationship concerns, and general life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can reduce anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood-related patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. That way therapy stays focused and relevant to what the person wants to change.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging makes it easier to work around busy schedules and geographic limits. These formats allow for regular check-ins, on-the-spot coaching, and written tools people can review between sessions. The flexibility supports consistent progress and lets people use the communication style that fits them best.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
