About Laura
Laura Walls is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 23 years of clinical experience. She uses attachment-informed work at the center of her practice to help people understand how early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns. She often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and grief.
She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and life transitions. Her practice includes attention to trauma, ADHD, and chronic caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. The focus is on clear goals, improving communication, and practical steps that fit everyday life. Laura blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and responses.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find what matters to them and take small steps toward it. Her approach pays attention to attachment issues, so she helps people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and find different ways to connect. Over two decades of work in varied counseling settings inform her style.
People who have faced adoption or foster care concerns, abandonment, blended family questions, aging issues, autism spectrum concerns, or disruptive mood challenges may find focused support here. Laura aims for clear, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Laura often uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice relationship patterns and understand how early bonds shape current feelings. That work looks like mapping patterns in conversation and trying new ways of relating during sessions, which can be done over video or phone. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities, offering empathic listening and reflection to help people feel heard and clearer about next steps.She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into the online room when helping with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, or anger. CBT here involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them in daily life, and trying short practical exercises between sessions. The therapist will work with the client to choose the best mix of approaches based on goals and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can reduce bandwidth needs and fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity during transitions.
