Laura Herp, LCSW

Laura Herp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate life transitions and emotional challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, those coping with addictions, survivors of trauma and abuse, and people experiencing depression, among other concerns. Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversation and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique situation and goals.

Clients who reach out to Laura will find a practitioner who values collaborative care and practical support as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She emphasizes tailoring interventions to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Taking the first step toward change can take courage, and Laura positions herself as a steady, empathetic partner throughout that process.

Throughout her practice she focuses on creating a therapeutic environment that honors personal strengths while addressing areas like relationships, parenting, grief, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Her training and experience equip her to support clients through both immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle observation of thoughts and feelings. It teaches clients simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety, and can be useful for building coping skills when emotions or cravings arise.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) explores the multiple parts that make up a person’s inner experience. This approach helps clients identify and understand protective and vulnerable parts, offering a path to heal from trauma, improve relationships, and strengthen self-leadership.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laura collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy makes it possible to work with a licensed professional using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across busy routines, and make consistent support more accessible for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.
