Laura Wafer, LIMFT, LMFT

Laura Wafer is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She aims to provide respectful, compassionate care while meeting each person where they are. Her approach begins with listening closely to what matters to the client. She tailors conversation and treatment plans to the person's specific concerns and life situation. She helps people name the problem, set clear goals, and try practical steps that fit their daily life. Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like attachment worries, abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication difficulties. She also supports people coping with aging concerns, autism-related challenges, blended family dynamics, and complex mood or behavior concerns. Sessions focus on building skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, and healing from past harm. She works at a pace that feels manageable and offers tools people can use between sessions. The emphasis is on concrete strategies alongside thoughtful conversation. Laura is licensed in Ohio as a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist and in Kentucky as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She provides services in English for people located in Kentucky and does not accept international clients. To begin, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. One common approach focuses on skill building for anxiety and stress management, teaching practical breathing, coping, and problem-solving steps that people can use between sessions. Another approach addresses relationship and attachment concerns by helping clients identify interaction patterns and try new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals and preferences, then choose methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most. If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of care when managing chronic illness or caregiving responsibilities.
