About Laura
Laura Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Arkansas. She has 11 years of experience in mental health, including work in schools, community mental health, hospitals, and independent practice. Laura draws on that range of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family problems, and other concerns.
She also provides technology-assisted counseling and offers messaging and scheduled live sessions. Laura aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
Background and approach
She uses clear examples and plain language to help people apply ideas to daily life. Her approach is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. Clients set realistic goals that fit their values and routines.
In sessions she applies Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods guide the work rather than dictate it, and she tailors them to each person’s situation. She often focuses on communication, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time.
Laura developed a specialization in technology-assisted counseling after seeing the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on people who could not access traditional care. She routinely uses live chat and checks messages at least twice daily. She also schedules phone or video sessions on alternating weekends when available.
Parents and families looking for practical support around parenting, blended family issues, caregiver stress, or family conflict may find her style accessible. Her work emphasizes respect for each person’s background and personal values.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and providing acceptance so a person can set their own goals. Online this looks like time devoted to hearing what matters most and reflecting it back so priorities are clear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. In virtual sessions CBT can include short exercises, homework, and real-time problem solving that fit daily life.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, values, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether to lean more on CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, or brief solution-focused steps based on the problem and the person’s preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules or for people who prefer messaging over live sessions. It also lets work continue between meetings through messaging and brief check-ins, which helps keep progress practical and steady.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
