About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She works with people dealing with depression, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach aims to make conversations feel respectful and straightforward so people can take practical steps forward.
She uses talk-based methods to tailor sessions to each person's situation. That can mean focusing on solutions for immediate problems, using cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking, or centering the conversation on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented, not long lectures. Laura brings about 10 years of professional experience in mental health to her work in California. She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while helping people set clear, achievable goals.
She explains tools in plain language and checks in about what is or isn't working. In sessions people can expect practical strategies for handling anger, improving communication, managing stress, and coping with grief or caregiving strain. She also helps people with workplace stress, blended family issues, and concerns that come with aging or end-of-life planning.
Starting therapy with her involves a short intake to understand immediate needs and priorities. From there she and the client create a plan with concrete steps and ways to measure progress. This keeps work focused and makes it easier to notice change over time.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify what matters most, which can help with relationship stress or self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises and thought tools for managing anxiety, anger, and depression by changing unhelpful patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, immediate changes and building on existing strengths. It helps people set short-term goals and try specific steps that can make daily life easier.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting along the way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to see facial cues during a longer session, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
