About Laura
Laura Edmonds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical steps people can take right away. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented to fit busy lives.
Clients can expect plainspoken guidance that looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. She uses tools that help change unhelpful thinking and build stronger coping skills. Motivation and small, achievable goals are part of her plan when substance use or ambivalence is a concern.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma and chemical dependency, and she brings that experience into how she plans sessions. She views counseling as a collaborative relationship where the client’s priorities lead the conversation. Problem solving and clearer communication strategies are common topics in sessions.
Therapy often includes short skill-building exercises between meetings. These help people practice new responses to triggers, manage anger, and handle stressful situations. Progress is measured by real-life changes the client notices, such as fewer angry outbursts or better sleep.
Laura has three years of clinical experience as an LPC. She offers appointments by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Sessions follow the client’s pace and focus on practical next steps and steady progress.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. In practice this means sessions begin with the client’s goals and priorities, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to help clarify what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, anger, mood concerns, and stress by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation for steps they want to take. This approach pairs well with addiction-related concerns and with starting new coping habits.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each client, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works and what the client prefers. Goals and pacing are set together so changes feel manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can suit quick reflections or maintaining momentum between longer meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
