She works with adults facing major life changes and persistent emotional challenges. Her practice uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
Laurel frames sessions around clear, practical steps. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. She uses straightforward conversation and targeted skills to reduce anxiety and manage addictive behaviors. She helps people name and process grief and trauma at a pace that feels manageable.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in community and outpatient settings across North Carolina. That experience informs how she addresses complex, overlapping issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, co-morbidity, and changes linked to aging. She also works with concerns like body image, eating issues, and divorce or separation.
Laurel integrates Client-Centered methods to ground sessions in the person’s experience. She uses CBT to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She applies Emotionally-Focused techniques when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the problem.
Sessions are practical and paced to fit what each person needs. People can expect a mix of listening, skill practice, and discussion about next steps between meetings. Laurel accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s concerns, helping people clarify what matters and decide next steps. This approach supports issues like stress, grief, and processing emotional pain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and addictive patterns. It uses concrete exercises and practice between sessions to build new habits and reduce symptoms.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and emotional responses in relationships. It can help when patterns of withdrawal, blame, or hurt keep coming up in close relationships or in how someone relates to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then test methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions use more skills practice, reflective dialogue, or emotion-focused work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when needed. They also allow follow-up conversations or skill practice between in-person appointments when that option is available.
