More about Laura
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a LCSW in Oregon and a certified Mental Health Coach. I provide an open, safe, empathic, non-judgmental environment, where your thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. I know what it is like when life becomes challenging, lonely, unknown and even isolating. Where you long to be heard, seen and understood for the person you are and the struggles and pain you may be going through. My educational background and personal life experiences can be especially beneficial in helping you process grief and loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD and/or surviving Narcissistic abuse. I am knowledgeable using person-centered therapy, DBT skills, and motivational questioning to help you reach your desired goals. I can also incorporate Christian values, scripture and prayer into your care and our time together, although only if requested. Taking the first step to seeking a life where you don't merely survive but thrive takes courage! I extend my compassion and care to you. I desire to meet with you and support you through your process and journey towards a more fulfilling life.

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.
