About Laci
Laci Struble is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Iowa with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and youth who bring concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her manner is warm and inviting, and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion from the first session.
Struble uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centered methods along with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral techniques. She adapts what she does to fit each person's needs rather than following a single formula. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill building, and clearer ways to cope with strong emotions.
People often come for help with stress, anger, addictions, grief, parenting strain, mood disorders, and patterns like codependency or attachment problems. She also supports those navigating life changes, chronic mood concerns, and behaviors tied to impulsivity or control issues. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, doable changes.
In sessions, Struble mixes short-term problem solving with longer-term goals when needed. She may use structured exercises from cognitive-behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical approaches can help with emotion regulation and tolerating distress. Client-centered work keeps the focus on each person’s values and strengths.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages questions, pacing the work to match what someone can manage. People who want practical tools along with respectful listening typically find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people identify their own priorities. It’s about building a trusting working relationship and following the client’s pace to explore what matters most.Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful for people who want tools to steady strong reactions and reduce impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily demands and then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
