Laura Wheeler, LPC

Laura Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting or caregiver challenges. She works with individuals managing ADD/ADHD concerns such as impulsivity, difficulties with focus and concentration, and memory challenges, helping them identify practical strategies to improve daily functioning and well-being.

Emphasizing a strengths-based, person-centered perspective, Laura views each client as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths to promote meaningful change. Her interventions are tailored to the individual and may draw from cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and bibliotherapy or other person-centered tools to support ongoing learning and growth.

Laura appreciates the courage involved in seeking help and approaches therapy with support and empowerment in mind. She aims to collaborate with clients to set achievable goals and to provide strategies that help them move toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Laura Wheeler commonly incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach provides practical tools for managing difficult moods and improving day-to-day functioning.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques can be especially useful for managing impulsivity, strong emotional reactions, and patterns that interfere with relationships or daily goals.

Bibliotherapy and person-centered tools are offered as additional options to reinforce learning between sessions and to tailor care to each person’s preferences. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laura Wheeler will collaborate with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and values. This collaborative process helps shape an individualized plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access care from home or during busy days. These formats allow therapists and clients to work together consistently while accommodating different communication styles and practical constraints.
