Welcome to Better Help!
By reading this you have taken a step toward healing.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of South Carolina and Arizona, and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Nevada with over 7 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I have also completed additional training in the areas of Depression and Anxiety at the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Philadelphia, PA. I believe in an individual’s emotional and behavioral health.
I have helped clients in private-practice settings, as well as substance abuse inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient facilities, and correctional facilities. My clients have come to me with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Additionally, I have worked with individuals challenged by substance abuse, behavioral and personality disorders, and human sexuality.
I bring compassion and empathy to my work as a therapist. I maintain unconditional positive regard in creating a warm and open therapeutic environment of acceptance. My counseling style is conversational and interactive. I utilize multiple models of psychotherapy including cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and dialectical behavior therapy.
Establishing a therapeutic relationship is a vital step and trust is key. The relationship that you have with your therapist, according to research, will provide the most healing over time than any technique or theory. I am here to meet your needs, support, encourage, and empower you as you work on making positive changes and improvements in your life.
If you are ready to move in a new direction in your life or want guidance through a life challenge, let’s start your journey.

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.

Laura is the Best! She’s a keeper & has helped me so much in my healing process. Thank You!!
Laura is amazing and professional and helped me a lot, I feel understood and better when talking to her.
Laura is the best of the best. I have been to other therapists and received judgement and had unpleasant experiences, not with Laura. She knows her stuff and she has helped me tremendously. I feel confident in her expertise and comfortable with her. Laura is the best therapist I have ever had.
I have been with Laura for about 4 years. She has treated me with patience and respect. She knows when to push me to go beyond comfort zone and when to keep things light. I trust that she is giving me the tools I need to get where I want to be.
Laura is the Best & I am so glad we were matched. She has helped me very much!
I feel so blessed to have found my therapist, Laura Arnold. The help that she has provided to me has been so worth my time and investment. She's been supportive, considerate and truthful in her assessment of my difficulties.
Laura teaches you about yourself, relationships and how to get what you need and want in life in a way I have not found in other therapists. She has been extremely helpful in finding myself again which is helping with the overwhelming feeling of life.
I have only had 2 session with Laura but she is extremely personable, professional, and I have left feeling better every time. I’m really excited to continue working with Laura and becoming stronger and healthier mentally. I would recommend Laura to anyone.
Great therapist
Laura is a superb therapist and has helped me immensely. I feel very comfortable discussing anything, and I would definitely recommend Laura.
Laura is absolutely phenomenal. I adore her and i am learning so much about myself through the therapy sessions. I really respect her, and she is so wonderful to work with!
Laura has made a huge difference in my life. She is supportive and extremely understanding and has helped me so much during difficult times. I am lucky to have found such an amazing therapist.
I am so grateful to be a part of Better Help & also to have such a wonderful therapist!!
Laura has given me many questions to ponder/journal. It has opened up an entire new way to assist me with my feelings. It's much appreciated.
I love Laura. I have been to therapy before but it never worked out until I met Laura. She is wonderful. I never feel judged or bad after talking with her like I would with other therapists. I have opened up to Laura more than anyone ever in my entire life. This woman is phenomenal. She will make you cry, make you laugh and help you through ALL of your traumas. I can’t say enough good things about this amazing woman. She has helped me soo much. Laura creates the safest space I’ve ever experienced. Laura you are so so smooth and I hope you get to see this!
Laura is the perfect combination of wisdom, knowledge, and humor. She listens deeply, has such compassion and at the same time absolutely will hold you accountable for healing and creating the life you want. She's truly brilliant and I am so thankful for her. The progress I have made is largely due to her guidance and counsel.
Laura is a very compassionate caregiver. She is able to make me feel like she is always on my side, but not in a way that is unnaturally positively biased just because I'm her client. She is open to adapting her methods if you feel like something isn't working for you, but maintains a healthy example of boundaries. I'm lucky to have found her!
I finally feel heard and supported and I am very happy to have found Laura to help me through my current struggles. She is very informative and real and doesn't say things just to say them. I appreciate her expertise and I have already learned so much and have felt this to be the most beneficial therapy I have ever had. Thank you Laura.
She listens and gives good advice
Laura is the Best!!
Best therapist I’ve ever had. I love Laura. She is a true professional.
Laura is insightful, caring and will tell it to you straight. I absolutely love that about her! I had nearly an instant connection with her, feeling at ease and comfortable talking about my challenges. She is incredibly observant, clear and wise. She drops 'gems' of wisdom so often I cannot catch them all though I do my best. Having Laura as my therapist has added such value to my life and made my healing journey doable. Many thanks!!!
Laura has been helpful in so many ways. I appreciate her very much.
I love Laura her help expertise and support are invaluable.
Laura really helped me during a time when I was in an acute life crisis and struggling to make decisions. Now that I am over the worst of the crisis, I've chosen to come back to work with Laura so I can continue to heal from past trauma and break free from old coping strategies that no longer serve me. Laura has always been able to meet me exactly where I am and help me navigate the next steps successfully. She does this with humour and wisdom.
Laura is a great therapist and really helps work through issues with you. Has empathy and great understanding of how to approach issues
Working with Laura has been life changing. Her insight, warmth and ability to just get to the root of my worry or problem has helped me to see the world and more importantly, myself in a totally different way.
I have never connected with a therapist the way I have with Laura. She is wonderful. She has helped me so much I truly value, respect and appreciate her.
Such a strong woman who really tells it how it is. No sugar coating, she’s very straight up and helps you understand that this is the way it is and it’s okay. I used better help to get over my breakup and she offered so many words of advice that I will always remember.
Amazing therapist
Laura is very kind. Helpful and understanding. I feel like she is another friend of mine that I’m looking forward to chat every week. Definitely recommend Laura, esp if you were in a toxic relationship/ narcissistic abused etc.
Laura is a warm personality and a sharp thinker who knows how to listen, connect with the patient, and offer practical tools for making life a little easier. She makes an effort to learn about new things such as religion and history that might be relevant to the client's treatment. I never feel judged. Sessions are fun even when we're talking about trauma. I am grateful to have her. Give her a raise. Thank you.
I've had a couple different therapists over the years, and they were all of use. However, Laura is the best one I've encountered by a long shot. She is insightful, caring and understanding. I feel I've gotten more from her than any of my previous in person therapists.
Laura has been very helpful & I appreciate her expertise!
Laura is a great character she is very good at what she does. It’s nice to talk to someone who not only understands you but also shares her own experiences in life, Laura is a therapist although I think of her as a friend I can talk to.
Being connected with Laura has been one of the best thing that happen to me this year. I feel safe and heard by Laura. I am comfortable sharing where i'm coming from. Her professionalism, knowledge and deep understanding has been constructively help me go through my struggle and thoughts.
I love working with Laura so much. She is down to earth, understanding, inspiring, empathetic and straight to the point (in the most incredible way). I feel like she just gets me and that I can say literally anything which is such an amazing feeling. Every week is different and every week we unravel such important things. Amazing.
Kind hearted and empathetic human being. I truly appreciate the tools and insight Laura has given me throughout the past months, which I'm sure will help me make more progress in the future.
Laura is amazing, I felt a connection with her from day one. I was terrified to try counseling again and she made it so easy. She really cares and she has great expertise. She goes above and beyond. Very thankful for this woman!
Talking with Laura has given me so much clarity. She ACTUALLY listens, and makes me feel supported. Starting therapy with Laura has been one of the best decisions of my life.
Laura is an amazing therapist, her approach is down to earth and real, it feels like your talking to a friend and not someone who is judging you. I feel comfortable and safe around her to share anything.
Laura has been a tremendous support and she opened my eyes to a lot of things I wasn't aware of, that were unconsciously perpetuating my problems. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling with a difficult relationship or the loss of one. She is truly a gem and very warm, kind, empathic and non-judgemental.
Laura is a caring, down to earth and understanding counselor. She helps me feel better in the present, while assisting me to understand the root causes of my states.
I felt a connection with Laura after our first session. It takes a special person to be able to form those kind of bonds and make people feel comfortable.
Laura has been my counselor for a about 2 months, and my experience with her has been just amazing! She couldn't have come to me at a better time. She really cares, and pay attention to details. She listens when u need a ear and talks to you when u need guidance. Super knowledgeable, compassionate, supportive, very open and non-judgmental. It has taken very little time for me to trust her and open up to her. In this little time I have learned so much about myself. She is quick to reply my text, checks on me when she doesn't hear from me in between sessions. I look forward to continue my healing and growing journey under her care.
She really tries to understand where you’re coming from. Always trying to connect.
Very professional and educated on personalities
Laura is approachable and knowledgeable. I was slightly apprehensive at trying online therapy, although now I can't imagine not doing this online. I've felt calm and at ease talking with Laura, and I plan on continuing my counselling with her.
