About Laura

Laura Boettger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, life transitions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coaching needs, and ADHD. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, isolation, and post-traumatic stress.

She has worked extensively with people leaving or processing involvement in cults and other high-control groups. Laura uses a mix of approaches that range from non-directive conversation to structured techniques. She names EMDR as one of the methods she uses alongside narrative and attachment-focused work.

In sessions she helps clients sort through confusing emotions and memories that can follow exposure to controlling relationships. She addresses trauma-related symptoms including dissociation and the questions that come up during major life changes. Her style emphasizes listening and matching the method to what the person needs in the moment.

Laura supports adults across different stages of life who feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by transition. She helps people clarify goals and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Work can include processing past events, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and exploring personal values and direction.

Her background includes focused work with post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. Laura combines attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversation, DBT skills, EMDR techniques, and narrative methods to address symptoms and life disruption. She invites people to take a first step by selecting an online therapy option and completing a brief matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online work

Laura draws on attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, and DBT skills in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and can help with trust and relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead, giving space to talk through feelings and choices. DBT supplies concrete skills for managing emotions and improving communication when anxiety or overwhelm is intense.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques over several sessions to see what fits best.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while focusing on managing anxiety, processing trauma, and navigating life changes.
