Online approaches that focus on connection and action

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean talking through recurring relationship habits and tracing where they began so new, healthier patterns can be practiced.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what they value and take committed steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises and mindful noticing to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can sort out their own solutions. This style supports self-directed change and pairs well with more skills-based tools when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting tools as progress unfolds. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
