About Laura
Laura Tellez is an LCSW licensed in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions center on what the client wants to address. Conversations and goals are shaped together so practical steps follow from what matters most to the client.
Laura uses a mix of methods to match different problems. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, Mindfulness practices to calm attention, and Trauma-Focused ideas when past harm affects current life. Solution-Focused techniques are used for setting short-term goals and noticing progress.
People often come with relationship strains, feelings of abandonment or isolation, body image concerns, caregiver stress, or difficulties with trust and commitment. Laura also supports those coping with immigration stress, separation or infidelity, and the emotional effects of domestic violence.
She offers practical tools - thought records, grounding and breathing exercises, communication practice, and small behavioral experiments - to try between sessions. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and she works with each person to set realistic, stepwise goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s concerns guide the work; it helps people clarify what they want to change and feel heard while deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and build tolerance for uncomfortable moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and past experience, and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about methods are made together and may be adjusted as progress is observed.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and use written handouts or worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals typically adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness drills, and solution-focused steps to an online format so clients can keep working toward clear, practical goals.
