About Laura
Laura Montoya is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. She draws on her four years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. Laura meets people where they are and treats them as experts in their own lives.
She uses clear, straightforward conversation to help clients identify what matters most and what gets in the way. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
Background and approach
Laura pays attention to how relationships and past experiences influence present struggles. Her work also addresses related concerns like attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. She supports people facing panic symptoms, mood challenges, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.
Women’s concerns and forgiveness or guilt issues are part of her focus as well. Laura offers online formats so people can access support from home. She explains options and helps clients choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the early sessions straightforward and respectful. Over time, Laura helps clients build on their strengths and track small progress. The work she does is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Her goal is to create useful, realistic steps that make daily life easier.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online work. One approach focuses on practical problem solving and coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms; it teaches specific tools to use when stress rises. Another approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns to understand how past connections affect current communication and parenting challenges; this helps people change how they relate and respond. Both approaches emphasize learning clear steps to try between sessions and tracking what helps.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily realities, and together they decide which methods to prioritize. That collaborative process helps tailor the work to what each person needs and can use.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it possible to fit sessions into busy days, to check in between meetings, and to get support from home. For many people, the range of remote options makes it easier to stay consistent and keep progress moving forward.
