About Laura
Laura Hank is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses plain, practical conversation to help people notice what is getting in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on developing skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and handling everyday stresses. Laura mixes brief, goal-focused work with moments of reflection so clients can see what changes help most.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build alternative coping steps. Mindfulness strategies are offered to help with concentration and emotion regulation, and Solution-Focused Therapy supports quick, practical steps when needed.
Laura’s background includes work in schools, telehealth, and community outpatient mental health. That variety shaped a straightforward way of working that fits busy lives. She aims to teach skills people can use between sessions and to help them track small, measurable progress.
Sessions are conversational but structured, with clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. People who prefer direct guidance and practical tools often find this style helpful. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Laura often uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities, helping them talk through concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking that can increase anxiety or low mood and to practice alternative responses that reduce distress. Mindfulness strategies are offered to build attention and calm during stressful moments.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift plans as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from wherever they are at the scheduled time. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Work with the therapist to pick a format and schedule that match daily routines and communication preferences.
