About Laura Boettger

Laura Boettger, LMHC, is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of professional experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental space for people who feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves, especially during periods when change or stress makes it hard to know what to do next.

She has a particular focus on helping individuals impacted by cults or other high-control groups, relationships, or environments. Whether someone is in the process of leaving, reflecting on past involvement, or questioning a current situation, she supports clients as they sort through complex emotions and make sense of what they have lived through, including concerns related to post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. She is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a structured therapy often used to help people work through distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms.

Laura tailors therapy to the person in front of her, drawing from a range of approaches that can be more open-ended or more structured depending on what feels most helpful. She also supports people navigating transitional phases of life, when uncertainty, loneliness, and shifting identity can leave someone feeling unmoored. Together, clients and Laura work to clarify what matters, reduce the weight of distress, and build a practical path forward toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Laura Boettger, LMHC, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured method that helps clients process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions over time. It can be especially relevant for people working through post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, or the aftermath of high-control relationships and environments.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on how early and ongoing relationship patterns can shape emotions, self-worth, and connection with others. This approach can be helpful for concerns like abandonment, codependency, and difficulties with trust or closeness. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and the client’s pace, which can support people experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions where identity and direction feel uncertain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what feels manageable, and which tools best fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the structure as needs change.

Online therapy adds flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to get support amid busy schedules or major transitions. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for additional support between appointments.
