About Laura
Laura Anderson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and difficult days. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and big life changes.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy. Laura uses practical skills people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She mixes approaches to match each person’s needs rather than sticking to one rigid plan. Humor sometimes finds its way into sessions when a lighter moment can help shift perspective and relieve tension. In therapy she focuses on concrete tools for coping, communication, and mood management.
That can include learning to notice thoughts and feelings, practicing skills for handling intense emotions, and testing small behavior changes that lead to better days. She also addresses concerns like control issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and relationship difficulties. Laura trained and practices methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, client-centered work, and mindfulness approaches.
Her decade of experience in Florida informs a practical, client-focused approach. Sessions are offered in English and available through a range of online formats. People who choose Laura can expect a collaborative process.
She helps clients set realistic goals, tries different techniques until something fits, and supports them as they build skills to handle anger, panic, or long-standing mood problems.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can reduce the power of anger and worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for panic, depression, and anxiety because it breaks problems into manageable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger and relationship struggles.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals and personal preference. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so therapy fits the way you live.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when you prefer it. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging can fit short updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on skills consistently from wherever you are.
