About Laura

Laura Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, eating issues, career challenges, life transitions, ADHD, and goals related to self-love.

Background and approach

She centers work on forming a strong therapeutic relationship and then collaborates with each person to set clear, achievable goals aimed at improving daily functioning and overall outlook. Her style blends evidence-based techniques with empathic listening.

Laura uses methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment tools to clarify values and build meaningful behaviors, and elements of psychodynamic and motivational approaches to explore deeper patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

Over eight years as an LCSW she has worked with a range of concerns and emphasizes practical steps that foster personal growth and improved connections. Clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented process that frames self-care as an important act of self-love.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building self-directed habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by teaching practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier patterns, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Laura will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, adjusting techniques over time in a cooperative, goal-focused way.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, coordinate sessions around work or family responsibilities, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the therapist's service area.
