About Laura
Laura Sternberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with eight years of experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She helps people who are struggling with depression, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. Laura also works with issues such as anger, career difficulty, and compassion fatigue.
She often supports people dealing with social anxiety, isolation, shame, and attachment worries. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and clearer understanding of how past events shape current reactions. Laura uses a mix of approaches to suit the concern at hand rather than one fixed method.
Her background includes methods that target trauma and the stories people tell about themselves. In sessions she may use mindfulness to slow down strong emotions and solution-focused steps to try doable changes between meetings. She also brings narrative tools to help clients reframe painful experiences and EMDR techniques when trauma memories are a central problem.
Laura aims to make therapy concrete and readable. She talks through patterns, identifies small experiments to try, and helps set short-term goals. Clients leave with specific tools to manage anxiety, process grief, or make decisions about relationships and work.
For people juggling caregiving, end-of-life concerns, or first responder stress, she offers attention to those particular pressures. To get started, prospective clients follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session.
Using therapy methods online to address anxiety and trauma
Laura combines approaches like EMDR, mindfulness therapy, and existential or narrative work in ways that fit the issue at hand. EMDR involves focused attention on difficult memories while tracking movements or sensations to reduce the emotional charge; it is often used when traumatic memories are central. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away, which can help with anxiety and stress. Narrative and existential-leaning work looks at the stories people tell about their lives and values, helping clarify what matters and how to act differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work in session. Laura will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. That gives space to test techniques and to shift emphasis if a different method fits better.
