Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Support
Laura draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor online work to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the individual leads the conversation and is supported to explore values, feelings, and goals - it is especially useful for building self-esteem and self-compassion.CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develops practical strategies to change them, which can be effective for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a helpful fit for people struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or patterns of shame and guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Laura is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow the therapeutic process to continue even when schedules or locations change.
