About Laura
Laura listens closely to each person's story and works from their existing strengths. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to say what they are thinking and feeling. Together they map out steps that address the concerns that matter most in daily life.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical actions. Laura helps people break bigger problems into smaller, doable tasks. She supports people struggling with panic, social anxiety, or the demands of caregiving by creating focused plans and simple coping tools.
Her practice also addresses issues such as loneliness, communication problems, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. For people with ADHD or low motivation she helps establish routines and strategies that fit individual needs. The work aims to strengthen what already works while adding new, usable skills.
Laura brings 18 years of professional experience as a Wisconsin licensed clinical social worker. She centers the relationship and collaboration in each session and encourages steady, practical progress. If someone is ready to take a next step, she guides them through matching and scheduling to begin therapy.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and brief behavior changes that reduce immediate distress. These tools help with day-to-day symptoms and sudden panic reactions.Another approach centers on processing grief and life transitions through structured conversations and stepwise planning. This helps people make sense of losses, reorganize routines, and identify meaningful next steps during midlife changes. Both approaches aim to be straightforward and usable between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the individual's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to focus on change that matters to the client.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to fit meetings into a busy day. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief touch-base is helpful, and it can reduce travel time so people spend more of their energy on the therapy itself.
