So far so good. It’s only been a couple of weeks that Laura and I have communicated with one another and each time I’m able to retrieve valuable nuggets and lessons to help me get through the week.

Laura is amazing! I've been a mess trying to figure things out here, and she has been very supportive. It looks like we might be narrowing down part of my social issues as well, which is what I'm needing the most!

More about Laura

  • 21 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello,

My name is Laura. A poet and writer named Bukowski stated that "Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry". There are times when we need to distinguish the difference.

I am a licensed counselor in the state of Florida. I received my undergraduate degree at Boston College and a Master Degree in Social Work, at Florida International University. For the past 21 years I have served the Youth, Adults and Seniors in supporting their mental health. Focus areas have included, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and interpersonal relationships.

I achieve results by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Care. My primary therapeutic orientation is Client Centered and Solution Focused. I believe that individuals want to grow and evolve, but “life” has a way of growing individuals at a different pace than desired. However, once individuals get into a Solution Focused stance, the anxiety of the situation tends to diminish enough, so people can work on the problem. What a great way to deal with a situation that seems insurmountable.

I am a counselor with a solid reputation that shows authentic concern for individuals and the outcome of their decisions. Protecting an individual’s privacy is of the utmost importance to me and safety is a priority. I will help individuals to gain insight into the problem and creatively develop a plan with obtainable goals.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I am extremely grateful for what i have learned from Laura. Starting therapy was the first step into my self healing journey, and she made it easier for me to get a sense of what i needed. She welcomed me with open arms, and never made me feel like my problems weren't valid. Especially dealing with my inner child. I appreciate everything she has done for me, and i would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Laura.

Laura has been an amazing listener and supported me so much through my journey so far! She has also been able to address all of my issues and has made recommendations that have truly changed my life in a short period of time. I feel like I have a lot to look forward to and that I'll be able to heal from a lot of my trauma and get the help I've needed for a long time. She's very comfortable to talk to and I feel safe opening up to her and being honest about myself and my life.

I got this app during a very low point. Laura was understanding, listened, but wasn’t pushy about forcing me into meeting. It made me feel more comfortable to continue to seek help on my own terms when I felt ready to. She also sent worksheets and resources. It is very nice to have somebody outside my “circle” to talk to, without having to go to an office.

Laura has been able to mentor me on issues regarding addiction, dealing with tough familial situations, and stress from work.

I have had chronic mild depression my whole 50 year life. Been to therapy, once long term, several other attempts where I did not connect, including a couple on Better Help, but made minimal progress. Laura is the first person who I felt has been able to zero in on the root problem and offer a path to recovery, and for the first time I am cautiously optimistic that with her help she can prod me and work with me to finally achieve happiness

This experience was a difficult step to take. A step I knew I needed to take, but refused it for most of my life. However, it has proven to be worthwhile and one of the best decisions that I've ever made! Dr. Imbriale is as good as advertised, and even that sells her short. So thankful for her patience and understanding. She has given me a clearer, more defined view of my life. I used to live in matte, now I am beginning to live in color. Thank you Dr. Imbriale!!!
