This is the best therapeutic relationship I've ever had. With Laura, I like her approach, respect her expertise, and trust that she is there to help me (personally, specifically), in a way I've never experienced with another therapist. If you are looking to dig into the uncomfortable/painful/shameful stuff and need an astute guide, I highly recommend Laura.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has more than 21 years of experience in a variety of counseling settings. My holistic approach to counseling addresses your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. I approach therapy in a very integrative, client-centered manner. To ensure the highest quality care is provided, I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, psychoeducational, trauma-informed, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and more. I promote growth by offering a safe, accepting atmosphere in which you feel heard, validated, and empowered.
It is important to note that due licensing regulations, I am only able to work with clients who reside in VA.

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.

Exceptionally gifted therapist.
Laura was an awesome therapist! She set goals, did not sugar coat things, and called me out when necessary. She helped me to look at things from many perspectives, and offered ways to go about dealing with my concerns.
Amazing listener and really guides you through your issues. All around just a wonderful, helpful person and always there to lean on when you need her. She really makes herself available if you need her.
Laura is very caring and listens very well. She also helped me set short terms goals and things I can do to work on to get there.
Have been with Laura during two different long stretches in the past year— I am so thankful to have found such a great fit with my therapist! Particular as a neurodivergent person, I value her perspective and understanding of some particular issues I deal with.
Laura not only listens to me but she engages in real conversation with me; that really helps. She has put so many things I've experienced into perspective which has helped me develope healthy coping mechanisms. Things in my life has gotten much better thanks to her talent, knowledge, and experience. I couldn't possibly be happier with with my experience with her. I'll gladly recommend Laura to anyone that I know.
The best therapy experience I could have hoped for. Laura is excellent.
Today was my first session, I was nerves and afraid I wouldn’t know what to say. However, Laura took the reins and opened the conversations and interjected as needed to get better understanding of what needs I need met. Can’t wait to talk to her again during my next session.
Dealing with family issues is never easy, but Laura has been able to make each person of our family feel heard, supported, and always gives us strategies and useful tools to think about and use between sessions. We're so happy to have found her!
Laure has been a very big help. Not only has she taught me techniques to deal with my issues but she also seems to have a great deal of experience and understanding when it comes to my particular situation. When speaking with her, I not only feel comfortable, bit I also feel understood and respected. Laura has never sugar coated things for me, which I greatly appreciate, since I'm a very straightforward person. Even when I'm in the wrong, she will tactfully and gracefully tell me so, even if I have a hard time accepting her opinion. I would recommend Laura Walls for anyone that has gone through experiences similar to mine.
A friend when you need one; somebody with the best advice and your best interest in mind.
Laura has been fantastic so far
Great therapist, who listens and gives good advice to tough situations in my life.
She makes me feel comfortable, like I am talking to a old friend, which helps me open up so that I can benefit more from therapy.

Laura is there for me ALWAYS. She listens to me and has the most amazing advice. I have been so grateful for her and how she has supported me through my journey of healing. 10/10 will always recommend!
I find Laura to have a very intuitive grasp quickly about my needs, and her way of listening to me, and helping me along my journey— has been amazingly SUCH a great fit. I would recommend Laura not just because I have had a very meaningful Experience very- but I truly believe she would offer that to many different personalities.
She’s great.
Laura is awesome
Smart, quick wit, kind approach, comforting. 10/10
I never thought I would do therapy after my childhood with therapy and Laura changed that all for me. She is an amazing person and I love her!!!!
Laura is literally a lifesaver. I have never connected with a therapist until I met Laura. She is patient, understanding, and provides a welcoming safe space to be open and honest with zero judgment. She has helped me overcome many roadblocks and always checks in between appointments with helpful podcasts, etc. A session with Laura feels like a chat with your best friend, and she always finds a way to resonate with whatever is causing stress in your life. I highly recommend Laura Walls…you will feel like someone is on your side at all times and you’re never alone.
Just started working together , feels like a good fit
I’ve had many therapists, and Laura Walls is by far the best. Laura Walls offers advice, homework, and most importantly listens.
My favorite thing about Laura Walls is how she truly gets me and most of the time her suggestions are sensible, yet things I hadn't thought of or heard of before!
Strongly recommend. Helping a lot so far
Awesome
Absolutely amazing. The voice of reason and a shoulder to lean on. She says she will give you the tools you need to figure things out on your own some day and she means it. Incredibly responsive and a flexible schedule.
Laura is awesome. She’s attentive funny and really makes me consider the emotional and mental health education and strategies we work on together.
Fantastic she really helps me walk thru my emotions. It’s been a difficult experience and it truly is helpful to have someone there
Really enjoy working with Laura
Laura Walls is amazing. She listens to you and finds different ways to help.
