Hi there! My name is Laura Savage and I have had the pleasure of working as a Social Worker since 1997. I attended the University of Delaware and then went on to receive my Master's in Social Work from Florida International University. I have worked extensively with many diverse populations, including adults, children, and teenagers in a variety of settings. These have included an adolescent residential treatment facility, a hospital, and a non-profit center, supporting children impacted by cancer and their families. Currently, I am employed at a school district where I provide school-based counseling to middle and high school students. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to assist students in managing their various struggles with ADHD, Autism, and anxiety. In addition, I support students with their executive functioning skills and strategies they need to be successful.
As a clinician, providing an empathic and warm environment is critical to developing a healthy and collaborative working relationship. Together, we can work towards fostering positive change.

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.
