Laura is absolutely one of the best people to help me in my mental time of need. A different and knowledgeable viewpoint. Highly recommended.

This is the best therapeutic relationship I've ever had. With Laura, I like her approach, respect her expertise, and trust that she is there to help me (personally, specifically), in a way I've never experienced with another therapist. If you are looking to dig into the uncomfortable/painful/shameful stuff and need an astute guide, I highly recommend Laura.

More about Laura

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has more than 21 years of experience in a variety of counseling settings. My holistic approach to counseling addresses your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. I approach therapy in a very integrative, client-centered manner. To ensure the highest quality care is provided, I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, psychoeducational, trauma-informed, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and more. I promote growth by offering a safe, accepting atmosphere in which you feel heard, validated, and empowered.

It is important to note that due licensing regulations, I am only able to work with clients who reside in VA.

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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Laure has been a very big help. Not only has she taught me techniques to deal with my issues but she also seems to have a great deal of experience and understanding when it comes to my particular situation. When speaking with her, I not only feel comfortable, bit I also feel understood and respected. Laura has never sugar coated things for me, which I greatly appreciate, since I'm a very straightforward person. Even when I'm in the wrong, she will tactfully and gracefully tell me so, even if I have a hard time accepting her opinion. I would recommend Laura Walls for anyone that has gone through experiences similar to mine.

Laura is literally a lifesaver. I have never connected with a therapist until I met Laura. She is patient, understanding, and provides a welcoming safe space to be open and honest with zero judgment. She has helped me overcome many roadblocks and always checks in between appointments with helpful podcasts, etc. A session with Laura feels like a chat with your best friend, and she always finds a way to resonate with whatever is causing stress in your life. I highly recommend Laura Walls…you will feel like someone is on your side at all times and you’re never alone.
