About Laura
Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She draws on several years of practice and life experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach
Her background includes work in a range of clinical settings and experience with individual and group formats. Laura has supported people dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, fertility and adoption concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem and purpose. She also helps people cope with life changes and relationship problems.
In sessions she blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and a client-centered attitude. That mix is used to build tools for emotion management, communication, and healthier habits. Laura describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She helps clients set achievable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time. The work is practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-driven steps even when emotions are difficult; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and early connections, and can support people working through trust, intimacy, or parenting-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to explore what feels most helpful based on your goals and preferences, and adapts strategies as you try them out together.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and allow shorter, more frequent exchanges. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, parenting, or travel while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
