She blends her clinical training with a calm, encouraging style to support people through life transitions and ongoing struggles. Sessions are oriented toward building skills for managing mood, improving communication, and addressing substance use when needed. Laura emphasizes small, achievable changes and ongoing support so clients can move toward a more satisfying daily life.

If someone wants a steady, pragmatic guide through stress, family problems, or recovery, she offers that steady presence.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps anyone who needs a supportive space to sort feelings and set personal priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is a short-term conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change, often used with substance use and commitment challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels sensible and doable for daily life.

Online therapy lets people access those approaches from home. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions provide a simpler audio option. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, caregiving, or mobility limits, and they help maintain momentum toward the goals discussed in sessions.

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.
