About Laurel
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in California with 24 years of experience, Laurel Lass focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She addresses a wide range of issues linked to attachment and emotional regulation. Laurel works with adults who want concrete ways to feel steadier and more connected in their daily lives.
Laurel blends attachment-based ideas with emotionally-focused work to help people understand patterns in close relationships. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and trauma-focused methods for those coping with past hurt. Internal Family Systems ideas inform how she helps clients notice different internal parts and their needs.
In sessions she listens for repeated patterns that cause pain - for example fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting, or cycles of blame and withdrawal. She helps people name those patterns and practice different responses. Sessions include talking through recent situations and trying small, manageable changes between meetings.
Laurel draws on long experience to help people who feel isolated, overwhelmed by guilt or shame, or stuck after loss. She works plainly and directly, offering specific tools like grounding, mindful noticing, and steps to change communication habits.
Her background includes many years supporting people with mood disorders, panic symptoms, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help clients gain steadier emotion regulation and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

How attachment and emotion-focused methods work online
Laurel uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see and change repeating relationship patterns. This approach looks at how early connections shape current reactions and helps clients experiment with new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting core emotions in relationships and individual life, which can help with anxiety, grief, and trust issues. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings in the moment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurel will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care after an in-person break and makes scheduling across different locations simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, EFT, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
