About Laura
Laura Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of practice in Pennsylvania. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.
She focuses on practical goals and clear steps. Sessions look at thoughts and habits that get in the way. Laura uses talk and exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new responses. She emphasizes self-love as part of mental health work.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, client-centered principles, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix allows for both skills training and deeper reflection depending on what a person needs. Clients can expect structured work on thinking patterns alongside space to talk about feelings and history.
In sessions Laura helps people set measurable goals and track progress. She introduces specific strategies for anxiety, mood, and anger, and she practices new ways to relate in relationships and around intimacy. For issues like eating concerns or trauma, she combines skills with reflective conversation.
Her style aims to be straightforward and results-focused. People who want concrete tools for day-to-day problems and clearer thinking will find practical steps and collaborative goal-setting in her work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It uses concrete exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people make space for difficult feelings while committing to meaningful steps in daily life. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting to help someone clarify goals and feel understood. Combined with skills-based methods, it supports both problem solving and self-reflection. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. This choice can be revisited as work progresses. For session logistics, please confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discussing formats up front helps plan how to use skills practice between appointments and keeps work practical and focused.Areas of expertise
