About Laura

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 22 years of practice. She chose this path early and has spent her career helping children, adolescents, adults, and families facing common struggles. Her work covers mood concerns, stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, and life changes.

She combines practical guidance with steady emotional support. Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a calm space for parents and families to talk through what feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on concrete steps families can try at home and ways to notice small changes that add up over time. Laura uses tools from several approaches to match each family's needs. She draws on client-centered listening so people feel heard.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She has worked with grief, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, autism, and caregiver stress among other issues. She also addresses relationship, intimacy, communication, and family problems in practical ways that fit daily life.

Parents will find a therapist who balances guidance with encouragement. She helps families set workable goals, practice new skills, and track progress. The aim is to make life more manageable and to build on strengths already present in the household.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the family member's experience. The therapist follows each person’s pace and builds trust so families can openly talk about hard topics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that fuel worry or anger and then try different responses. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and everyday family conflicts.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These tools often help parents manage stress and respond more clearly in tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will team up with the client to select methods that fit the family’s goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration shapes how sessions proceed and what skills are practiced between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let participants see each other and practice skills together. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and tools that fit a hectic schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity during school, work, and caregiving demands.

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.
