About Laura
She has a long background in healthcare settings, including many years at a major cancer center, which shaped how she supports people facing medical, chronic, and end-of-life concerns. That experience informs her approach to grief, illness-related stress, and caregiver strain. She also brings coaching skills for lifestyle and wellness changes.
In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also listed among her approaches for processing traumatic memories.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps people identify steps they can try between sessions and checks what works for them. The aim is to build on strengths, reduce distressing symptoms, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Laura works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship stresses. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, caregiving, cancer-related concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. If these areas match what a person is facing, she can be a point of contact to begin exploring next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, feel safe, or pull away in relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and communication concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it teaches concrete skills to try between sessions.
EMDR is a method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. When appropriate, it can be used alongside other approaches to address trauma and abuse related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable, and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are made together and adjusted based on what helps.
