Focus areas and approaches

Everything Laura lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasizes building small routines and skills to boost motivation, self esteem, and daily functioning. These methods are aimed at clear goals and real-world improvements.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you will choose strategies and adjust them over time so they fit your needs and progress feels achievable.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, deeper session is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits your schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, brief coping strategies, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to stay consistent with care.
