Laura Brum, LPC

Laura Brum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of clinical experience, including extensive work in a rural setting. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, anger, career transitions, OCD, and ADHD, and has helped many who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic style is warm, caring, and interactive. She approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels. Laura blends a number of evidence-based methods to tailor care to each individual's needs, integrating client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral techniques, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical approaches, and elements of positive psychology and solution-focused work.

Laura focuses on helping clients move forward, process past experiences when needed, and develop practical treatment plans that address their specific goals. She aims to make therapy approachable and effective without requiring it to be intimidating at every step. When someone is ready to pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life, Laura provides support and encouragement to help them take those next steps and build on their strengths.

Therapeutic approaches offered through online care

Laura Brum draws from client-centered therapy to create a collaborative and accepting space where clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect and supports personal insight and self-directed change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and many daily stressors.

For clients who have experienced trauma, Laura incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, a structured approach that helps the brain process distressing memories and reduce their hold on current functioning. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related symptoms.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with each client to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offers flexibility for scheduling and access. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect when travel or location presents a challenge, while still allowing therapists and clients to work toward meaningful goals together.
