She holds a Masters in Agency Counseling and has worked since 1995 with people facing depression, anxiety, OCD, and crisis situations. Laura lives in Michigan with her husband and daughter and draws on decades of practice when helping people address life stressors.
She focuses on clear, practical goals and asks clients to help set the direction of work. Sessions often include homework between meetings so that new skills can be tried in everyday life. Laura uses client-centered and solution-focused methods alongside cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person's goals.
Common concerns she helps people with include relationship and family problems, parenting stress, work and career challenges, grief, addiction, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders such as bipolar, and struggles with self-esteem, eating or sleeping. She also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family adjustment, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Her approach emphasizes practical tools and building on existing strengths. She encourages people to identify and use natural supports while practicing specific strategies between sessions. Laura has experience with crisis counseling and has worked with clients who have had suicidal thoughts, offering steady clinical support and short-term interventions when needed.
She has also practiced Equine-Assisted Therapy and integrates different methods based on what a client needs. Laura aims to help people develop concrete skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
How CBT and client-centered methods translate to online work
Laura draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT here is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for managing daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client setting goals and the therapist offering support and active listening to move toward those goals.She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, concrete changes that produce quick benefits. The combination of these approaches means sessions often set short-term objectives and assign tasks to practice between meetings. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what fits the person’s needs and preferences as work proceeds.
