About Laura
Laura Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults in individual sessions and focuses on concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship patterns, chronic pain and autoimmune conditions, codependency, grief, and life transitions.
She uses practical tools in sessions, including worksheets and weekly challenges. Sessions include direct conversation about patterns, homework between sessions, and concrete skills to try in everyday life. Clients who want to change long-standing habits and are willing to do practice work tend to fit her style.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-based and client-centered methods. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and EMDR where appropriate. Those approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and process traumatic memories when needed.
Laura often addresses relationship and family-of-origin patterns, intimacy-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and fertility or caregiving stress. She also works with people facing career changes, bipolar-related coping, and the effects of disaster or first responder stress. Sessions aim to make practical changes rather than only talk about problems.
Therapy begins with a focused assessment of current struggles and goals. From there she and the client set short-term tasks and measurable steps to try. The work is organized, straightforward, and centered on skills practice and reflection.
Using CBT and trauma-focused methods in online sessions
Laura combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered approaches in a practical way. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with change. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and relationship struggles. Client-centered methods prioritize the person’s experience and pace, supporting clearer goals and decisions.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will review current concerns and goals in the first meetings and agree on which techniques to try. That plan can change based on what helps most in practice, with tasks and skill-building added as needed.
The therapist’s online practice details should be confirmed before booking. Ask which session formats are offered and how scheduling works. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time so people can schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
