About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a California LCSW with 10 years of practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most difficult right now. Sessions focus on practical steps to change thoughts, habits, and patterns that get in the way of functioning. Laura combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work focused and concrete.
In early sessions she listens for the problems that cause the most daily stress. Then she and the client set short-term goals and try specific strategies. These might include testing new ways of responding, tracking thoughts and moods, and practicing small behavior changes between sessions.
Clients can expect a steady, organized pace aimed at manageable shifts rather than long explanations. Progress is tracked by looking at what is different in everyday life and adjusting plans when needed.
Her background includes a decade of social work practice in California. That experience has included helping people navigate relationship problems, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and end-of-life concerns. Laura adapts common CBT techniques to practical goals and straightforward problem solving.
She conducts sessions in English and asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment to help clarify goals and logistics.
How Laura uses structured approaches for online work
Laura blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered and solution-focused methods in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-centered work prioritizes the client's concerns and uses reflective listening to clarify goals and next steps. Solution-focused work narrows attention to immediate, achievable changes and clear short-term goals that can be practiced between meetings.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review presenting problems and goals, then suggest methods to try first. Adjustments are made based on what is helpful and what fits the client's daily life and preferences.
The practical benefits of online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online meetings can support brief check-ins, structured skill practice, and goal review that fit into work breaks or caregiving routines without requiring long travel.
