About Laura

Laura Kozak is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who focuses on relationship challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and building self-esteem. She has 20 years of experience helping people who identify as women navigate difficult emotions and life changes. Laura aims to listen with respect and sensitivity while offering practical help for everyday struggles.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to fit each person's needs. She uses straightforward methods to address painful memories, worry, and problems with trust.

Background and approach

Work often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to respond, and noticing patterns that repeat in relationships. Her training includes approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods give a mix of emotional support, problem-solving, and attention to past events that still matter today.

Laura describes counseling as a partnership. She helps set goals and checks in about progress as work moves forward. Many people find that small changes in how they think and act lead to clearer choices and more confidence.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Information about scheduling and next steps is provided when starting the process.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person’s concerns and offers support that honors their experiences, which can help with grief, self-esteem, and relationship pain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing emotional support with skill-building and occasional reflection on past patterns.

Online therapy allows the same therapeutic methods to be used from home. Video calls make face-to-face conversation possible, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging add flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options help people keep continuity of care and use therapy in ways that fit their daily life.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
