Laura Moore, LCSW

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 22 years of experience. She decided early in life to work in a helping role and has remained committed to supporting adults through difficult life moments. She aims to be a steady presence who listens and offers practical guidance as people sort through stressful changes.

Her background includes long-term work with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, career transitions, trauma and grief. She also supports people managing ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, health-related stress, and compassion fatigue. This range gives her a breadth of experience to draw on when clients bring complex, overlapping problems.

In sessions she uses approaches that center the person and their goals. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and solution-focused strategies to set concrete steps forward. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing also shape conversations when useful.

Clients can expect a straightforward, caring style. Laura describes her role as listener, cheerleader, and emotional support. She works with people who want practical tools as well as a space to process emotions tied to loss, life transitions, or identity questions.

When someone is ready to begin, she guides them through small, achievable changes and helps track progress over time. The emphasis is on clear steps, steady support, and finding ways to make daily life more manageable and meaningful.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person's priorities. Online work lets the therapist check in on what matters now and adjust the session to the client's immediate goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and uses short exercises to try new behaviors and thinking patterns. In an online setting CBT can include homework, brief in-session skill practice, and check-ins about those tasks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress; these techniques can be taught and practiced during a live online meeting and repeated between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with their needs and preferences.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer disruptions for travel. Online work can make shorter check-ins possible, let someone have a therapy time during a work break, or avoid the need for commuting. Because the specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking so the chosen format matches your schedule and comfort.
