About Laura

Laura Falsgraf is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Washington with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on common, painful issues like stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and depression. She aims to meet people where they are and make the first steps easier to take.

Her approach is straightforward and adaptable. She talks with clients respectfully and with sensitivity, shaping conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical steps that can reduce daily stress and improve family interactions. Laura works with a range of concerns related to relationships and emotional health. That includes ADHD, attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and mood disorders.

She also supports people facing fertility challenges, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and those coping with isolation or grief about life direction. Trauma and post-traumatic stress are also part of her practice. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and its effects on mood and relationships.

Sessions are paced to match a client’s readiness and comfort level. Her style is compassionate and practical. She helps people identify small changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

Taking the first step can be hard, and she frames starting therapy as a courageous move toward clearer goals and healthier relationships.

Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility

Many of Laura’s methods are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is trauma-informed care, which helps people address past harm and its impact on current mood and relationships by pacing work to what feels manageable. Another frequently used technique targets anxiety and stress through practical coping skills like breathing, activity planning, and gradual exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend or adapt methods that fit your situation. This collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting as needed to find what helps most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions give audio-only flexibility, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter-check in options between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain consistent contact when schedules are tight.
