About Laura
Laura Arnold is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Laura also works with clients dealing with codependency, attachment wounds, anger, and issues tied to self-esteem and life changes.
Her approach is warm and conversational. Sessions focus on building trust and a real therapeutic relationship first. She brings empathy and unconditional positive regard to each meeting and aims to make clients feel heard and respected.
Laura uses practical, evidence-informed methods during work together. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change habits like substance use.
Her background includes work in private practice and in substance abuse inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. She has also provided services in correctional settings. That variety has shaped a flexible style that can adapt to different challenges and stages of recovery.
People who meet with Laura typically start by identifying a few clear goals. Sessions then combine emotional support, practical coping strategies, and skill-building. The focus is on real-world steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. It helps people feel understood and safe enough to talk about difficult emotions and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and behavioral habits that feed codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools one week and emotion-regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy the next, depending on what the client needs.
Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work while relocating, since international clients are accepted. The focus remains on practical exercises, goal setting, and skills clients can use between meetings to handle stress, cravings, or difficult conversations.
