Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Laura draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to shape online work in ways that meet each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes respect for the client's experience and supports self-directed growth by listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the individual. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns. DBT provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability, anger, and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura collaborates with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy with Laura uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in care from a comfortable setting while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to practical, goal-oriented support.
