About Laura
Laura Edmonds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are conversational and aimed at clear goals that matter to each person.
She approaches counseling as a collaborative process. Conversations look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. From there she helps clients build coping skills, improve communication, and change unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
Laura uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify and shift patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Trauma-focused work helps address past events that continue to cause distress.
Her background includes three years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. That experience includes supporting people with substance use concerns, relationship struggles, and mood disorders. She aims for straightforward, compassionate work that respects each person's pace.
In sessions clients can expect a mix of short-term strategies and longer-term skill building. Laura prioritizes clear communication and practical homework between sessions when it helps. The goal is to leave people feeling more capable of handling day-to-day challenges.

Approaches that fit into busy lives
Laura often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change thought patterns that lead to distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems because it breaks issues into concrete thoughts and actions to work on.She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel unsure about change. This approach focuses on exploring readiness, strengthening motivation, and setting small, realistic steps toward goals. For clients affected by traumatic events, trauma-focused therapy provides ways to process memories and reduce their impact on current life.
Finding the right approach is something she works on together with each person. The therapist will ask about concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that match those needs. Plans are adjusted over time so methods fit how clients actually respond and what feels manageable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it possible to fit care into work breaks, school pickups, or other busy schedules.
