About Laura
Laura Roland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with adults in individual therapy and focuses on helping people address anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, and midlife concerns. Her manner is warm and direct, and she uses practical tools to help clients make changes that last.
She commonly helps people dealing with ADHD, chronic pain and illness, grief and complicated loss, and trauma related to attachment or emotional abuse. She also supports those facing identity transitions, career setbacks, and compassion fatigue. Clients can expect straightforward feedback alongside encouragement to try new skills.
Her approach mixes attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR. That allows her to tailor interventions to each person’s history and goals. She often gives worksheets, homework, and short weekly challenges to reinforce progress between sessions.
Therapy with her is collaborative and action-oriented. Laura emphasizes learning tools for emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and repairing relationship patterns. She invites people who are ready to do the work and make gradual changes.
To begin, a person uses the site’s Start Therapy button, completes a brief matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions are conducted in English and Laura is not accepting international clients at this time.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on building more secure ways of relating and can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment trauma.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.
EMDR addresses distress tied to traumatic memories through structured processing. It can be useful for people with complex trauma and emotional abuse histories.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences, and together they will choose methods that fit the person’s needs and pace.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also enable continued work when relocating within the state. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, homework, and EMDR planning to remote formats, and the therapist will explain how tools and weekly challenges will be handled when you first meet.
