About Laura
Laura Arnold is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship strain, grief, depression, and related concerns including ADHD and bipolar symptoms.
Laura uses a conversational, interactive style in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to prioritize what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Before moving into outpatient and private-practice work, she provided care in substance abuse inpatient settings, partial hospitalization programs, and correctional facilities. That range of settings shaped her approach to people who are managing addiction, personality challenges, or intense life changes.
In practice she focuses on communication, attachment and intimacy issues, codependency, and problems that often follow trauma and abuse. She also helps people dealing with anger, shame, isolation, and difficult relationship events such as infidelity or financial stress.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Laura aims to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and use coping skills between meetings. Her way of working combines listening with concrete strategies so people can try new behaviors in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura often draws on client-centered therapy to focus conversations on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and building a plan that fits the client's goals and preferences.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and many mood-related concerns because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will help clients decide whether client-centered conversation, CBT techniques, or DBT skills make the most sense for their needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also gives therapists and clients room to practice skills between meetings and to apply strategies directly to everyday situations.
