About Laura
Laura Walls is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions. Sessions are aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and helping clients regain a sense of direction.
Her approach combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people understand how past relationships shape current reactions, practice new ways of thinking, and build habits that reduce distress.
Background and approach
Laura keeps work straightforward and skills-focused so clients can use what they learn between sessions. Common concerns she addresses include self-esteem, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, sleep problems, and coping with change. She also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and career-related stress.
Anger management is a named area of focus and is handled alongside related issues like control and communication challenges. Laura has substantial experience with adults navigating midlife shifts, caregiving roles, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment-related struggles. She aims to create clear goals and small, measurable steps toward them.
Sessions emphasize practical tools, better communication, and restoring balance in everyday routines. People meet her for short-term problem-solving or longer work on deeper patterns. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging formats.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and emotional reactions. In online sessions this can mean looking at patterns that drive anger, closeness issues, or trust struggles and practicing new responses that feel safer and more effective. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own answers; that approach supports work on self-esteem, decision making, and coping with life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods as progress is observed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan reflects their needs and preferences rather than a fixed recipe.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging works well for quick updates, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling flexible and let clients choose what fits their day-to-day life.
