About Laura
Laura Walls is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Virginia with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Laura works with people who want clearer thinking and more effective ways to manage emotional overwhelm.
Her approach draws on practical methods that help people notice patterns in how they relate to others. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when thoughts and behaviors are driving distress.
Sessions are organized around specific goals. Laura helps with self-esteem, social anxiety, sleep problems, and parenting stress, among other concerns. Conversations include skills practice, ways to change unhelpful thinking, and checking how new behaviors are working in daily life.
She has spent more than two decades in a range of counseling settings and has particular experience with caregivers, women, and people in midlife transitions. That background informs how she frames problems and suggests practical next steps.
People can expect direct, steady guidance and a focus on what can change now. Laura aims to help clients improve communication, manage anxiety, and handle transitions with clearer plans and small, manageable steps.
How Laura uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Laura often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that keep someone stuck.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence present interactions. This can help with intimacy-related issues, commitment worries, and recurring communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit goals and preferences. That means checking what helps early on and adjusting as progress is tracked.
