    About Laura

    Laura Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and changes at work or in life. She also supports people dealing with eating issues, anger, intimacy-related struggles, ADHD, and those wanting coaching or to build more self-love. Laura writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on goals you can use every day.

    She forms a working relationship with each person and sets clear, tangible goals together. Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. The aim is to improve confidence, mood, and the way someone connects with others.

    Laura draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide conversations and practical steps. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior perspectives when they fit the work.

    Over eight years she has gained experience with a range of concerns, including trauma and addiction-related issues mentioned in her background. Her style is collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps people choose changes that matter to them.

    Sessions are described as focused on real-world outcomes like better coping skills, clearer priorities, and stronger self-respect. Laura encourages viewing mental health work as an act of self-love and ongoing care.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people sort out mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and small steps to help someone clarify what matters and build motivation for action. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing value-driven actions; it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills to stay engaged in what matters. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace, creating space to be heard and to find personal solutions.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals and preferences, and together they will try strategies that fit the person's needs. If something isn't working, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and relevant.

    The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time, which can make regular meetings simpler to keep. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Confirm the specific session options available before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
