About Laura

Laura Cho-Stutler is a Hawaii-licensed psychologist with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with parenting concerns, facing depression, or navigating big life changes. She also offers executive coaching to people aiming to improve decision-making and work-life balance.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns that keep repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with coaching elements to support short- and longer-term goals. She works collaboratively on strategies for coping, communication, and managing strong emotions.

Practical skills and small experiments between sessions are a common part of the process. Clients can expect straightforward language and a focus on real-life changes. She helps people break big problems into doable steps and build routines that support wellbeing.

Sessions include time to review progress and adjust plans as needed. Working with a psychologist can feel like having a guide while you test new ways of handling stress and responsibilities. Laura offers that guidance with respect for each person’s pace and priorities.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching methods to help clients set concrete goals and practice new habits. One common approach focuses on learning skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and stepping through feared situations. These techniques help reduce avoidance and build confidence in day-to-day tasks.

Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and problem-solving to address parenting concerns and work-related stress. This involves breaking down a difficult situation into small, testable changes and reviewing what worked. The method is practical and aimed at producing usable tools clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life demands, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access care from different locations.
