How her approaches work in online therapy
Laura often uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and following the client’s lead; this helps people set their own priorities and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try experiments that change behaviors and mood. Existential Therapy supports people facing meaning questions and major life changes by helping name values and consider practical next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what feels most useful.
