About Laura

LMHC in Indiana with 32 years of clinical experience, Laura Wagner helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and ADHD. She uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions are delivered in English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Laura keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for what feels most urgent and then works with each person to try manageable steps. That can mean breaking problems into small parts, testing new ways of thinking, or focusing on one concrete skill to try between meetings.

Her approach blends talking about life experience with hands-on strategies. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable ones. Motivational Interviewing supports people working through change, especially around substance use and habits. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated patterns that show up across relationships.

Many clients bring concerns about communication, loneliness, and a search for purpose or self-worth. Laura will help people clarify what matters most and pick tools that fit daily life. Expect a combination of reflective conversation and practical assignments to try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears to help a person clarify feelings and goals. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, respectful conversation about what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused method that helps people weigh reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation, often used with addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach happens together. She will help clients figure out which methods match their needs and adjust the plan over time. That collaboration means techniques can shift as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life - for example by making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, reduce travel time, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Discussing practical session arrangements is part of the first scheduling step.
