How her approaches translate to online work
Laura integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name feelings and the attachment patterns that affect relationships. EFT focuses on emotional experience and can help when feelings are hard to put into words.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered methods support being heard, while CBT gives concrete steps to change patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions include planning so clients know what to expect and how approaches will be combined.
