About Laura
Laura Hattrup is an LSCSW (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker) and an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 16 years of experience based in Kansas. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, dealing with trauma or abuse, and those handling parenting or relationship concerns. She also supports people facing career changes, money and financial worries, compassion fatigue, and challenges from ADHD.
Her approach blends practical, structured methods with person-centered conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered listening and mindfulness to slow down strong emotions and find clearer thinking.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term goals. That can include identifying patterns that keep problems going, testing small behavior changes, and practicing mindful ways to respond to stress. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want straightforward plans and steps toward change.
Laura has worked with a wide range of people over her career, including work around grief, major life transitions, and low self-image. She aims to help people build resilience and practical coping skills rather than offering quick fixes.
People who choose her work with someone who favors clear, organized sessions. Conversations tend to move from problem identification to specific strategies and then to small experiments to try between sessions. This keeps progress measurable and focused on daily life.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Laura combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered conversation, and mindfulness work in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. Client-centered work means listening to what matters most to the person and using that as the starting point for practical steps. Mindfulness practices are short exercises to notice thoughts and emotions without getting swept up by them, which can reduce reactivity. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try different approaches, and adjust based on what works and what feels manageable. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and when to shift focus. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, and practice skills in the actual settings where problems occur. Some people prefer a shorter phone check-in while others choose a longer video visit to work through material in depth. The emphasis is on practical scheduling and matching methods to everyday life rather than on any single delivery mode.Areas of expertise
