More about Laura
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a LCSW in Oregon and a certified Mental Health Coach. I provide an open, safe, empathic, non-judgmental environment, where your thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. I know what it is like when life becomes challenging, lonely, unknown and even isolating. Where you long to be heard, seen and understood for the person you are and the struggles and pain you may be going through. My educational background and personal life experiences can be especially beneficial in helping you process grief and loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD and/or surviving Narcissistic abuse. I am knowledgeable using person-centered therapy, DBT skills, and motivational questioning to help you reach your desired goals. I can also incorporate Christian values, scripture and prayer into your care and our time together, although only if requested. Taking the first step to seeking a life where you don't merely survive but thrive takes courage! I extend my compassion and care to you. I desire to meet with you and support you through your process and journey towards a more fulfilling life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
