For addiction and substance concerns she addresses patterns and coping choices while focusing on short-term steps people can try.

How her Client-Centered and CBT approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping them make their own choices. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborator who follows their lead on what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and changing unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend ways of working. Decisions about methods are made together so the plan fits the client’s situation and what they want to achieve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try techniques in their everyday settings and report back on what works. Many licensed professionals use the same therapeutic tools online as they do in person, adapting exercises and homework to the session format.
