About Laura
Laura Anderson is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, self-esteem problems, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, and career stress.
She helps people name what they are feeling and learn practical skills to manage those feelings. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways to respond. Humor is sometimes used to lighten tense moments and to make coping feel more doable.
Her approach combines evidence-based methods with a conversational style. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the toolkit, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Techniques are selected to match a person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
In a typical session she will work on concrete skills such as identifying thought patterns, testing assumptions, building coping strategies, and practicing emotion regulation. Sessions include short, actionable exercises people can use between meetings to track progress and try new ways of responding.
Laura aims to help people increase the number of good days and reduce the days dominated by worry or low motivation. She asks about current stressors and goals, then helps set small, achievable steps toward changes that fit everyday life.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them in everyday life. CBT focuses on clear steps - identifying a thought, checking the evidence, and trying a different response - which can reduce worry and low mood.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most. Client-centered methods mean the therapist listens and follows a person’s concerns while shaping interventions around their goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
