About Laura

Laura Arnold is a licensed counselor with nine years of clinical experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and a broad range of related issues.

Background and approach

She combines empathic listening with practical strategies to help clients address problems such as trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood challenges, and the complexities of non-monogamous or LGBT relationships. Her work also attends to attachment wounds, codependency, substance-related struggles, and personality-related difficulties.

Her style is conversational and interactive, grounded in client-centered principles that prioritize each person’s goals and lived experience. Laura draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and uses dialectical skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.

Trained in motivational interviewing, she supports clients who are working on ambivalence and behavior change. She has practiced across personal and specialty settings and brings a nonjudgmental, strengths-based stance to the therapeutic process.

Licensed as an LCPC and LPC, she practices from South Carolina and offers services in English, including options for international clients. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances compassion with evidence-informed tools to foster meaningful change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client's goals guide the work; this approach supports people in feeling heard and in shaping treatment around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and homework, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when managing intense emotions or relational conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, experiment with different techniques, and adjust the plan so that treatment aligns with the person’s goals and preferences rather than applying a single method from the start.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexible ways to engage in these approaches. The range of formats makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations including international contexts, and choose interaction styles that suit an individual’s comfort level. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, DBT skills training, and client-centered conversations to these formats to maintain continuity and practical support.
