Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building to help people manage symptoms of stress and anxiety. These approaches often include structured exercises and coping strategies designed to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also applies evidence-based methods geared toward addressing grief, motivation, and self-esteem, offering space to process difficult emotions while working toward renewed confidence and purpose. These methods focus on both emotional understanding and actionable steps that support recovery from addictions and mood challenges.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Laura makes that a collaborative process. She partners with clients to identify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt techniques based on needs, preferences, and progress.
