About Laura
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with nine years of experience, Laura Salazar focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life and the therapist helps outline and reach specific goals.
Laura works with clear, goal-oriented plans. She and the client map what to accomplish in therapy and pick approaches that match those goals. She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential ideas, trauma-focused strategies, and some art-based techniques.
Sessions emphasize practical skills and real-world application. Clients learn tools for stress management, coping with loss, and adjusting to life changes. She also focuses on patterns that affect self-esteem, addiction-related problems, and relationship tensions.
Her approach blends talking and active practice. Conversations aim to clarify values and choices. She often assigns exercises between sessions so new skills can be tested in daily life.
Laura’s background includes nearly a decade of work with adults experiencing mood and trauma-related concerns. She offers therapy in English and practices under the LPC and LCPC credentials listed above. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats through the platform's scheduling flow.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client clarify priorities. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating difficult decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include specific exercises, thought records, and homework to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the issues someone brings in.
Confirm which session formats are offered before you book, since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins on a phone can work during a lunch break, and video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when needed. Ask about the specific formats available when you schedule so you can pick what suits your routine.
