About Laurel

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as primary methods.

Laurel has worked with adults across the lifespan, including older adults and geriatric concerns. She has experience supporting people through crisis and with short-term stabilization when needed. She also addresses compassion fatigue and workplace-related stress.

In session she favors clear, direct conversation and practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments. Mindfulness techniques are taught to help manage anxiety and regain focus during stressful moments.

Laurel describes herself as easygoing and aims to make sessions relaxed while staying focused on goals. She uses coaching-style elements when clients want concrete steps for career or life transitions.

How Laurel’s approaches apply to remote sessions

CBT is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In online work it can include setting small experiments to try between sessions and tracking results to see what changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve focus. These tools are often taught in brief exercises that clients can practice during daily routines to manage panic or rumination.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laurel will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or a blend fits best based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. She frames this as a practical trial rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different formats also vary in how much bandwidth or camera use they require, so clients can pick what fits their routine.
