More about Laura

11 years' experience
Female
LCSW

My name is Laura Cox. I am an experienced practitioner in the field of social work and counseling. I earned my Bachelors Degree with a minor in Psychology and my Masters Degree in Social Work. I worked for 13 years as a counselor for individuals and families and for almost 3 years as an adjunct professor teaching Masters level Social Work students. I embrace the concepts of understanding a person in their environment and helping people learn how to guide and help themselves. Brief, solution focused therapy is my strong suit. I have experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, grief and helping people and families cope with medical issues.

In my off time, I enjoy any adventure. I love any, and all water sports including scuba diving. The ocean is quiet below the waves. I believe a lot can be learned when you remove the noise.

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.
