About Laura

Laura Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Florida who brings three years of professional experience and a background in counseling and pastoral studies to her clinical work.

Background and approach

She draws on training in evidence-based approaches to support people managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction, grief, and trauma, as well as relationship and intimacy concerns. Her practice also addresses ADHD among a broad list of focus areas.

Her style blends practical skills with compassionate listening, emphasizing motivation, values, and personal meaning. She uses cognitive and mindfulness strategies alongside acceptance-based and attachment-informed methods to help clients develop clearer goals, shift unhelpful patterns, and build coping skills for life transitions and parenting challenges.

Laura frames therapy as collaborative work, guiding clients to set achievable steps and to regain a sense of purpose and agency. Sessions offer a mix of structured techniques and client-centered support, aiming to reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day functioning.

She accepts international clients and works via several online formats, making support accessible for people with varied schedules and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Translate to Online Care

Laura often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings arise; this approach supports work on motivation, life changes, and coping with anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand of her practice, focusing on how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, communication, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, anger, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adapting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy lets people access these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, try brief check-ins between sessions, and receive support when managing day-to-day challenges from wherever a client is located.
