About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship strain. She offers a calm, respectful presence and practical ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. If you are worried about coping, she focuses on clear steps you can try between sessions.
She works in a straightforward, compassionate style. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Sessions often include concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve communication within a household.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused methods. That means she listens first, helps you spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and then builds small, achievable plans. This mix is useful for everyday stress, parenting strain, and the fallout from loss or past trauma.
Laura brings about 10 years of professional experience in social work in California. She uses plain language and short-term goals when that fits, and steadier, exploratory work when people need more time to process. She respects individual values and adjusts her style to each person.
People meet her for help with depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD-related concerns, caregiver stress, and workplace pressure. She also supports those facing aging and end-of-life issues, blended family concerns, and communication problems. Her goal is to help people find workable strategies they can use day to day.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows your lead, reflects your concerns, and helps you clarify what matters most. This approach is helpful when you want empathetic support and space to make sense of your situation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress when concrete tools are wanted.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move you toward your goals. Sessions identify what is already working and build on those strengths to create quick, manageable changes. This method often fits people seeking short-term strategies for specific problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to decide which methods match your goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant to your needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is suited to deeper conversations, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
