About Laura Braswell
Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who blends formal post-graduate training from Rutgers University and Princeton with a Master of Divinity focused on counseling. With three years of clinical practice, she brings both professional education and lived experience to her work, drawing on decades of personal roles as a spouse, parent and foster caregiver to inform her therapeutic approach.
She has provided group counseling, individual therapy and couples work across multiple clinical settings, supporting people facing depression, anxiety, loss of purpose, complex parenting and relationship challenges, addictions, grief and trauma. Her background includes work with adoption and fertility concerns alongside issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career-related struggles, ADHD and bipolar and mood-related conditions.
Laura believes that people can move toward deep healing when they receive therapeutic support, motivation and spiritual guidance aligned with their values. As an older counselor who has navigated many life experiences firsthand, she emphasizes practical, experience-based guidance rather than theory alone. She encourages clients to focus on what they can change - their own choices and responses - and to pursue goals that break destructive patterns and reduce the impact of addiction and unhealthy behaviors.
Although life can be difficult, Laura frames therapy as a collaborative journey and offers her time and training to help clients explore purpose, set achievable goals and work steadily toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Laura utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and problems that involve avoidance or a loss of motivation.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another core approach, focusing on patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current bonds and reactions. This approach can be especially helpful for people navigating intimacy-related issues, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment or complex family dynamics.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, sleep and coping with life changes. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process - Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, online therapy with Laura emphasizes flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
