More about Laura

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with over 8 years of experience working as a therapist in the mental health field. I have been fortunate to work with a diverse clientele over the years--e.g., children, teens, young adults, mid-life, elderly, etc. All of which come with a unique set of challenges.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, teen-related issues, career challenges, ADHD, grief and loss, self-esteem, and co-dependency . I have also helped many people who have experienced complex trauma.

My counseling style is approachable, understanding and interactive. I believe in treating clients with respect, dignity, and compassion--I don't believe in shaming or criticizing . My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic and client-centered services . I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
