I’m so glad you’ve made the decision to start personal therapy through BetterHelp! I truly believe therapy is for everyone. Therapy can be such a wonderful catalyst for improving your life and getting things on track the way you want them.
My therapy style is empathetic and respectful, and I believe in creating a safe space that optimizes reflection, healing, growth, and fulfillment. I strongly believe that you are the "expert in you" meaning that you know yourself best, and I highly value your input and experiences in our work together. My approach is collaborative, and we will decide the agenda for each session together.
I am a clinical counselor licensed in Illinois with 13 years experience working in mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide array of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with life changes, self-esteem issues, parenting problems, ADHD, and ASD. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science and I have been fortunate enough to work in a variety of settings, ranging from community mental health, to private practice.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based techniques to help you recognize your strengths and develop skills that will help you address your specific needs and live your best life.I'd love to be an ally for you on your journey to better health and fulfillment!
I look forward to working with you!

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.

Laura is great, helpful and objective. Highly recommend.
I’ve been seeing Laura for about 5 months now and it has been the best decision of my life. She is a great listener and have made me feel heard. With her help Ive made major changes within myself. She’s amazing.
Laura is a very good therapist. She is respectful and listens well. Sometimes we need to talk to sometime, when we are anxious.
This was my first experience working with a therapist and I totally lucked out by finding Laura. She is friendly, professional, kind hearted, and most importantly, sincere. She really listens and works hard to help me discover solutions to my issues and concerns. She gently guides me to see situations from a different perspective which helps me deflect the notion or thought that causes my anxiety. She helped me find tools to quickly process my emotions when I'm feeling completely overwhelmed. I'm extremely confident in her abilities as a therapist and highly recommend her!
She is the first ever therapist I’ve had and she’s amazing. I enjoy talking to her and she helps me a lot with what I’m going through. She’s great
Laura is the best therapist I’ve ever had and I cannot express how helpful she is weekly in our sessions, and when I message her throughout the week she’s always responding quickly!
