About Laura

Laura Wagner is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with 32 years of clinical experience supporting people through complex emotional challenges. As an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), she offers long-standing, evidence-informed care for depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions while tailoring work to each person’s needs.

She places a strong emphasis on affirming, progressive approaches and has a particular commitment to working with older adults and those seeking a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. Her practice centers on helping individuals reconnect with themselves by exploring communication difficulties, addressing feelings of isolation, and rediscovering a sense of meaning and purpose.

Laura’s style blends self-compassion and holistic healing with practical strategies drawn from research-supported methods. She helps clients build emotional resilience, identify and leverage personal strengths, and create actionable pathways toward growth. Believing that each person carries inherent wisdom and the capacity for transformation, she provides a supportive space for examining experiences, challenging limiting beliefs, and cultivating deeper self-understanding and well-being.

Approaches and Online Care Tailored to Your Needs

Laura Wagner integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s own goals and insights guide the work; it can be especially helpful for rebuilding self-worth, clarifying values, and addressing feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

When pursuing change related to motivation or substance use, she also draws on motivational interviewing techniques to help people explore ambivalence and strengthen their commitment to goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Laura collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life transitions and to access regular support without added travel, while still working closely with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
