About Laura
Laura Lathan is an Alabama LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works with parents who feel unsure how to support their child while managing their own stress. Sessions are conducted in English and based in Alabama.
Laura frames therapy as a place to learn practical skills rather than a push to be "fixed." She helps people name difficult feelings and practice ways to manage strong reactions. Expect clear, skill-based work on thoughts, behaviors, and emotion regulation rather than vague talk alone.
Her sessions often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build skills for handling intense emotions and stress. These methods are presented in plain steps clients can try between sessions.
Parents who need help balancing their child’s needs with their own stress can bring concrete questions about routines, communication, and limits. Laura aims to combine clinical methods with each person's own knowledge about their life so practical solutions fit day-to-day demands.
She has experience addressing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood and personality concerns, postpartum depression, self-harm thoughts, isolation, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. If you want straightforward skill work and clear next steps, she focuses on usable tools and manageable goals.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Laura commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and then change related behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by giving clear steps to test new ways of thinking.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills focused on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills teach specific techniques for calming intense feelings and responding differently to conflict or strong urges.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions she will check what works and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow focus on skill practice between meetings. Many people find remote sessions convenient for regular check-ins and step-by-step skill building without needing extra travel time.
