Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and learning alternatives that better support day-to-day functioning, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering structure for people who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in intense emotions. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in empathy and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while moving at a pace that matches their needs and readiness for change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify what is and is not working, and choose strategies that fit the client’s preferences, strengths, and current challenges. The plan can shift over time as needs evolve and progress unfolds.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to get support from home, keep continuity during busy weeks, and choose a format that feels most comfortable.
