Laura Edmonds, LPC

Laura Edmonds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She brings a collaborative, relational approach to therapy and works alongside people as they identify goals and navigate life transitions.

Laura sees counseling as an opportunity to examine thoughts about oneself and the world and to understand how those thoughts shape emotions and actions. She draws on strategies that strengthen coping skills, support shifts in unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve communication and conflict resolution. These tools are used to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and other life challenges.

Her clinical practice includes cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing within a client-centered framework, allowing sessions to be tailored to each person s needs and preferences. Laura also has experience working with substance-related concerns and relational issues, and she emphasizes a respectful, goal-focused process. Her aim is to help people develop practical skills, clarify values and priorities, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that fits their lives.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Laura integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to create a supportive, practical online experience. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people explore their feelings and values so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily functioning.

Motivational interviewing is also used to strengthen a person s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and building confidence. Together these approaches allow sessions to be tailored to specific concerns such as addiction, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to access support around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide treatment and skill building.
