About Laure
Laure DeForges is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who offers practical support for people facing emotional strain. She holds an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and has seven years of experience helping adults sort through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Conversations with her are straightforward and focused on finding workable steps forward.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps build simple coping strategies.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to relate to others, and setting realistic goals for change. Laure has worked with issues such as self-esteem, grief, addiction, and sleep disruption. She also addresses concerns tied to intimacy, career shifts, and identity.
Her approach pays attention to shame, guilt, and attachment patterns that affect daily life. In therapy she mixes practical techniques with empathetic conversation. The focus is on skills people can use between sessions, such as stress management and clearer communication.
Progress is tracked by small, measurable steps rather than vague promises. People can expect a welcoming tone and a focus on doable change. Laure explains options and helps decide which tools fit a person’s situation.
Her aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control over everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Laure uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common method she applies involves working with thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test new responses, and build routines that ease daily stress.She also draws on trauma-informed practices that prioritize pacing and safety. These techniques aim to help someone process difficult memories without becoming overwhelmed, and to develop coping tools for triggers and flashbacks.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laure will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give options for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and use new skills between sessions.
