With seven years of clinical experience, Laura blends structured skill building with a person-centered attitude. She focuses on clear goals and practical strategies while keeping the client’s values in view. That makes sessions feel focused but still warm and collaborative.
Laura holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and practices from North Carolina. She offers therapy in English and works with people on issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, eating and body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at usable tools you can apply between sessions.

Approaches and online access for everyday parenting and stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with stress, parenting frustrations, and decisions that feel stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going by teaching concrete skills for mood and anxiety management. It often includes homework and practical exercises to use between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions now. It can be useful when someone wants to change how they relate to partners or manage emotional triggers tied to past losses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video can be useful for full sessions with face-to-face interaction, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging offers flexible, ongoing contact between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other commitments while using the approaches described above.
