About Laure
Laure DeForges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has seven years of experience helping people through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Laure aims to create an affirming space where clients can talk about what matters to them and find practical ways forward.
She focuses on everyday problems like stress, sleep trouble, relationship strain, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, self-esteem struggles, and career questions.
Background and approach
Conversations cover what is happening now and what patterns might be behind it. Laure uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps work practical and collaborative. Sessions often include identifying coping strategies, rehearsing new responses, and setting small goals people can try between meetings.
The emphasis is on tools that fit the client’s life and needs. She pays attention to attachment and past losses when those issues come up, and she helps people work through guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Laure also supports those navigating sexual orientation and relationship concerns in an affirming way.
People who choose her often want a down-to-earth approach with clear steps to manage emotions and change patterns. Laure encourages steady progress and adjusts the plan as people try different strategies and report back. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online or by phone and text, making it possible to continue work around busy schedules.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Laure uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life practice. One common approach she uses helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety, stress, and anger so they can respond differently in tense moments. Another approach looks at how past attachments and losses affect current relationships and emotions, helping people understand patterns and try new ways of connecting.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Laure works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as people try new strategies and report what works or doesn’t work.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let clinicians observe body language and have longer, in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and continuing work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum while trying new skills.
