She also supports people facing caregiver strain, parenting challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and life changes related to aging and geriatric issues. Her tone is respectful and straightforward, aimed at people who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.

She uses a conversational, person-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on clear, practical steps. Laura adapts the pace and topics to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. Together these methods aim to reduce distress and build coping skills that fit daily life.

Laura has ten years of professional experience and is licensed in California as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She emphasizes listening first, then working with people to set realistic steps toward change.

If taking the first step feels hard, she recognizes that and offers a steady, nonjudgmental way to begin. People who want a practical, empathetic approach to common life stresses often find this style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to make sessions feel relevant and respectful. This approach helps with emotional concerns like grief, relationship strain, and caregiver stress by prioritizing the client's perspective and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to test new ways of thinking. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when concrete strategies are needed.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move a person toward their goals. Sessions using this approach focus on strengths and immediate next steps rather than long-term analysis.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan fits the client's life and priorities.

Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, try brief check-ins, or use different tools between sessions. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available for scheduling and participation.
