Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Laura draws on a long career to offer steady, experience-based guidance. She uses straightforward methods rather than jargon, so people leave sessions with concrete actions they can try between meetings.
She emphasizes strengths and small, sustainable changes. Clients can expect conversations that balance emotional processing with practical problem solving. Laura helps people sort through painful memories, manage anxiety reactions, and find a way forward after loss or big transitions.
She pays particular attention to burnout and the unique stresses tied to public safety and military service. Based in Indiana, Laura works by phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her approach centers on collaboration, clear steps, and steady support for people facing difficult life moments.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and healing. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping skills and relaxation strategies to reduce anxiety and stress responses. This helps people manage acute worry, panic, and daily tension with practical tools.Another approach centers on processing traumatic or painful memories in a paced way so they feel less overwhelming. This method supports recovery from abuse, loss, and service-related trauma by pairing emotional processing with strategies for feeling safer in day-to-day life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the person's history, goals, and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review what is helpful and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
