About Laura

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety, manage anger, and lift low mood. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at parents and adults who want clearer choices and more steady days.

She uses brief, hands-on techniques to address sleeping and eating problems, self-esteem, intimacy, and career concerns. She also helps people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, and identity issues related to LGBT concerns.

Background and approach

Her work includes attention to family and parenting themes when those topics come up. Her approach treats people as the main authors of their lives. She helps clients notice what matters to them, try small new actions, and build routines that fit real family schedules.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps rather than long theory talks. Over her career she has worked with a wide range of life challenges, including adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, aging issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing body image, commitment, and blended family adjustments.

Laura brings steady experience and a practical focus to these topics. Her license is LCMHC in North Carolina. Conversations are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit busy lives.

Starting therapy begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what truly matters and take small actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and parenting decisions because it focuses on clear priorities and steady practice.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect and listening. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers reflection, and supports self-directed change. This approach can be helpful when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings about relationships, identity, or family roles.

She will work with clients to find the best approach together. That means discussing goals, trying methods, and adjusting as needed. The process is collaborative so the plan fits each person’s needs and daily life.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. These formats let people connect from home, coordinate around parenting duties, and keep continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, check progress, and adapt plans across different session types to support ongoing work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
