About Laura
Laura Hackman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of professional experience.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She listens to each person’s priorities and adjusts the focus based on what the client wants to work on. Progress is measured by real-world changes such as improved routines, clearer boundaries, or calmer responses to stress.
Practical matters like scheduling and session format are handled up front. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options. Laura provides services in English and does not work with international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve
Laura works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking so clients can reduce anxiety and negative self-talk. Another approach focuses on building small behavioral changes and routines to lift mood and manage stress, such as breaking tasks into steps and scheduling short check-ins to track progress.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting course based on real-life results.
Practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity when routines shift.
