About Laura Clarke
Laura Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of clinical experience working with adults, teens, and families. As an LPC, she holds training in assessment and therapeutic interventions aimed at supporting emotional well-being and life transitions. Her practice focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles, depression, eating challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes, with additional experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating adoption, attachment, and body image concerns.
She approaches therapy collaboratively and from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients identify internal resources and practical steps toward their goals. Laura emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their history, current concerns, and what they hope to change. She offers individual, family, and group therapy and provides teletherapy options so clients can meet by phone, video, live chat, or in-app messaging when appropriate.
In an initial session Laura will invite discussion about personal history, current stressors, and treatment goals, and she will explain her therapeutic approach while answering any questions. Clients can prepare in whatever way feels most comfortable, whether that means jotting down topics to cover or arriving ready to see how the conversation unfolds.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Laura commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead, supporting growth through empathy and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood, often used for depression, anxiety, and coping challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies as clients learn what works best for them.
Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance caregiving or work demands, and maintain continuity of care during life changes while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.
