About Laurel

Laurel Boyer is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience in Colorado. She focuses on helping adults who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Laurel aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people under stress.

Her style is warm and non-judgmental. Sessions emphasize listening first, then practical steps clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to emotions like guilt, shame, anger, and compassion fatigue, and she helps clients find clearer ways to cope.

Background and approach

Laurel brings several therapeutic approaches into her work, including Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Jungian ideas. Those tools help clients uncover personal meaning, build awareness, and develop stronger self-understanding. She also uses hypnotherapy when it fits a person’s goals.

Many clients come to discuss relationship issues, family concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, career stress, or challenges tied to young adulthood and women’s issues. Laurel also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and seasonal mood shifts. Her sessions aim to be collaborative.

She helps people name what matters most to them, test small changes, and track what works. The focus is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people talk through what matters most and experiment with small changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to help manage anxiety, stress, and mood shifts by paying attention to thoughts and body sensations in the present moment. Jungian Therapy looks at personal stories, symbols, and patterns to help clients understand recurring themes in their lives and make meaning from difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laurel will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. The plan can change as therapy progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to add therapy into a busy week, keep continuity during life changes, and revisit skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can work with clients across Colorado to provide steady support without requiring travel.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

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.
