About Laura
Laura Walker is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience. She draws on long experience in social services to help people facing addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at small, doable changes parents can try between sessions.
She has worked with adults and young people who have struggled with substance issues and trauma. That work included many family and couples sessions over the years.
Background and approach
She also spent a large portion of her career in supervisory roles, training other therapists and guiding clinical teams. In sessions she listens for what is most urgent and helps set clear, realistic goals. Expect straightforward talk, problem-solving, and steps you can use at home.
Conversations focus on improving daily routines, rebuilding trust, and reducing behaviors that cause harm. Her practice includes a mix of conversation and practical tools aimed at real-life parenting and relationship situations. She uses approaches backed by evidence to address substance-related concerns and emotional wounds.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Based in Indiana, she offers services in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to connect people to the right therapist and schedule sessions that fit their life.
Evidence-based approaches and online options for parenting and addiction
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills and relapse prevention strategies to manage substance-related challenges; it helps clients identify triggers and build simple routines to reduce harmful behaviors. Another approach centers on communication skills and problem-solving for relationship and parenting issues; it teaches how to set boundaries, give clear feedback, and repair strained interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track progress and adjust methods when needed so the plan fits family life and daily demands.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage childcare logistics, and keep continuity when in-person meetings aren’t possible. The variety of formats lets people pick what works best for their comfort and routine, while still focusing on practical steps for parenting, relationships, and addiction recovery.
