    About Laura

    Laura Hattrup, LSCSW, LCSW, welcomes people who feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. She writes in a direct and supportive way, inviting those who want change but aren’t sure where to start. Laura focuses on helping people notice their strengths and build skills to cope with hard moments.

    She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through grief, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career concerns. She also works with issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, money stress, and women’s issues. Sessions emphasize practical steps and small changes that add up over time.

    With 16 years of experience, Laura blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help interrupt unhelpful patterns and build healthier habits.

    Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit and is used when people want help finding their own reasons for change. Solution-focused methods are added when quick, goal-directed planning fits the situation. The result is a flexible approach that centers the person’s goals and choices.

    Laura practices in Kansas and holds the credentials LSCSW (Kansas) and LCSW (Missouri). She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, clients can use the site process to match and schedule with her.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation at their own pace. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and supporting personal choices rather than pushing advice. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience by following what matters most to them and offering empathic reflection to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a few tools and adjusting as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.

    Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since they were not listed in the biography. Many people appreciate that online meetings can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to make sessions feel focused, actionable, and respectful of each person’s pace.
