About Laura

Laura Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma-related problems. Laura also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and life changes that disrupt daily functioning.

Laura earned post-graduate degrees from Rutgers University and Princeton and also holds a Master of Divinity with a counseling focus. She has worked across multiple clinical settings, offering individual and group work as well as couples counseling earlier in her career. That variety informs how she mixes practical skills and conversation in sessions.

In session she draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness work, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered stance. She uses those approaches to help people identify patterns, practice new responses, and set doable goals. Sessions often include straightforward skill work and real-life problem solving.

Her background as a parent and experience with foster care and adoption informs how she talks about family and parenting concerns. She describes working with people on issues such as abandonment, attachment, communication problems, and codependency in clear, practical terms.

Laura’s style is direct and experience-informed. She emphasizes motivation, practical steps, and spiritual perspectives when clients request that input. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to make sure they fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Laura integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change how problems unfold. ACT helps people notice what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and move toward chosen values with small steps.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships and early patterns shape current reactions. That approach can help with communication problems, abandonment worries, and intimacy-related issues by naming patterns and practicing new ways of connecting. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists working online often use skills practice, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises that translate well to remote sessions, and Laura uses those same methods when they fit a client’s goals.
