About Laura
LMHC Laura Smalt is a Florida LMHC with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She works especially with women and young adults who are facing divorce or separation, family issues, or recovery from traumatic events. Sessions are described as collaborative and person-centered, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Laura helps people manage intense emotions and navigate practical problems. She talks through patterns such as codependency and communication problems. She also supports people processing dissociation, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. The aim is to build coping skills and clearer ways of relating to others.
Her sessions emphasize listening and practical work. Clients can expect to reflect on past experiences and practice new behaviors. The approach combines emotional processing with skill-building for everyday situations.
Laura draws on evidence-based techniques to guide each session. She focuses on what a person needs now, whether that is managing anxiety, repairing a relationship pattern, or coping with a major life change. Progress is framed around small, concrete steps.

How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques refer to methods that focus on specific skills and structured ways of working. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process painful memories and reduce symptoms tied to past events. This usually involves careful pacing and techniques to manage distress while reviewing what happened. Another frequent element is skill-focused work for anxiety and relationship problems. That includes learning breathing and grounding strategies for acute anxiety, and practicing communication and boundary skills to improve interactions with others. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client figure out which techniques fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may shift over time as progress and priorities change. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. They also let people use shorter check-ins when time is limited or choose options that reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt methods so the work remains practical and focused, whether the sessions are longer deep dives or brief skill practice.Sheet 3
