About Laura
Laura Frelich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting issues, and other life challenges. She also works with clients around addiction, trauma, grief, self-esteem, mood concerns, and career stress.
Laura uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing distress. She listens for thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then tries practical ways to change them. Sessions focus on clear steps people can practice between meetings to test what works.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods. That means she pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact, while keeping the client's goals central to planning work. She aims for concrete strategies that fit a person's day-to-day life.
In therapy she helps people break larger problems into manageable parts. For example, breaking overwhelming worries into specific thoughts to challenge, or turning relationship frustrations into small communication experiments. She often uses short exercises and goal-setting to track progress.
Laura describes herself as someone who creates a nonjudgmental setting for honest talk. If a parent is worried about family tension, or someone is struggling with addiction or mood swings, she helps them build practical skills and clearer choices. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions are structured, often include brief in-session exercises, and suggest tasks to practice between meetings to reduce worry, low mood, or unhelpful habits.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. That method supports clear goal-setting and collaborative planning so clients feel the work reflects their own needs and values.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will help clients decide whether CBT techniques, client-centered discussion, or a mix fits their situation. That choice is based on the client's goals, preferences, and what they want to try first.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily routines, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people test small changes and keep momentum between appointments.
