Laura commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own problem-solving so they can identify and pursue meaningful goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking validation, clearer self-understanding, and steady progress on personal concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic work. Laura collaborates with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly tailor interventions in this way to match individual circumstances.
