Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Laura Chilson, LPC, draws from several established therapy approaches to support clients working through concerns like stress and anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship and parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding to them. It can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or everyday stress starts to shape decisions and relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can help when feelings become intense or hard to manage. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships and life experiences can influence connection, trust, and closeness in the present, offering a helpful lens for relationship concerns and family patterns.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that align with each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure. Clients can meet with Laura by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged and supported between sessions when life is busy.
