About Laura

Laura Cartwright is a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee who draws on 13 years of clinical experience to support people facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She centers treatment on evidence-informed methods and adapts conversations and care plans to each person's circumstances, focusing attention on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBT identities. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients identify practical steps toward healthier functioning and greater well-being.

Clients may work with her on relationship tensions, family dynamics, grief, parenting difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions, along with additional areas like codependency, communication problems, gender dysphoria, and substance-related struggles.

Laura frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering tailored strategies and ongoing support so people can build skills, gain insight, and pursue meaningful change over time.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Care

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on skill-building and structured interventions to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD by teaching organization, planning, and emotion-regulation strategies that help with daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes addressing trauma, grief, and relationship patterns through guided exploration of past experiences and development of healthier coping and communication habits; this helps people process difficult events and shift unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and life situation to select or combine techniques that best fit their needs, adjusting plans over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from Tennessee without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled in ways that suit everyday life while maintaining a steady course of care.
