About Laci
Laci Struble is a licensed mental health counselor in Iowa with nine years of clinical experience. She frames sessions with a warm, straightforward style so people feel heard and respected from the first conversation. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping people handle stress, mood changes, and parenting pressures.
She draws on several therapy methods and adapts them to each person's needs. In sessions she often uses practical exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
She also brings in skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions and improve coping. Laci emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.
This can include working on anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, or managing ADHD symptoms in everyday life. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed by behavior challenges, grief, or family stress will find a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through options. She also addresses issues like addictions, self-esteem, communication problems, and attachment concerns with straightforward strategies and clear next steps.
Her sessions mix conversation, skill-building, and brief homework when useful. People leave with specific tools to use between meetings and a plan for the next steps. Laci aims to make the process approachable and practical for anyone ready to make changes.

How Laci’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist follows with empathy and reflection. This approach helps people feel understood and clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when strong feelings interfere with everyday functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist review what helps and choose tools that fit personal preferences and life demands.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief coaching or timely support into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care while juggling work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
