Laura Gose, LCMHC

Laura Gose is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She has developed a practice focused on helping people manage stress and anxiety, heal from trauma and abuse, address anger concerns, and cope with depression.

Her approach centers on recognizing each person's strengths and lived experience - she views clients as the experts of their own stories and partners in the therapeutic process. Laura combines practical strategies with a collaborative stance to support clients as they navigate life changes and challenging emotions.

Throughout her career she has worked with a range of concerns including attachment challenges, communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Beginning therapy can feel brave and unfamiliar, and Laura aims to create a respectful, encouraging environment that helps people take meaningful steps toward their goals.

CBT and Strengths-Based Care for Online Support

Laura Gose uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and low mood. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers structured strategies for change that many people find helpful for stress, worry, and mood challenges.

In addition to CBT, Laura emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered stance that recognizes each person’s knowledge and resources. This approach helps guide conversations about goals, coping strategies, and steps forward while honoring individual preferences and life context.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs and goals. Together they explore options and adjust techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from their own communities and to continue care when life circumstances change.
