Laura Roland, LPC, LMHC

Laura Roland is a licensed professional counselor who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, and life changes. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings 22 years of experience to her work in Florida. Her style is warm, direct, and practical.

She focuses on trauma and attachment concerns, codependency and boundary problems, and recovery from emotional abuse. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, ADHD, grief related to miscarriage or fertility loss, and complicated loss. Intimacy-related concerns and anger management are part of her regular caseload.

Her sessions emphasize straightforward tools and active collaboration. She uses worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to help people practice new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings. Clients can expect clear feedback and a goal-oriented pace.

Laura blends approaches that center relationships and present-moment skills. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at repeating patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. She also uses EMDR when trauma memories are a focus.

She asks for commitment from people ready to do the work therapy often requires. The first step can feel hard, and she aims to be a steady presence through that process. Prospective clients are encouraged to select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and tracking exercises to identify repeating patterns and try new interaction strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT skills, or other techniques such as EMDR when trauma memories are central.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow work on worksheets and between-session assignments in real time. It also lets people check in from quieter surroundings, choose shorter check-ins when needed, or join sessions without commuting. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to find a setup that suits daily life and therapeutic goals.
