About Laura

Laura Hattrup is a licensed social worker who helps people who are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck and who want practical ways to move forward.

Background and approach

With 16 years of experience, she draws on a warm, client-focused style to help clients identify strengths, build coping skills, and navigate major life changes including grief, relationship challenges, and struggles with attention and focus such as ADHD.

She uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to tailor work to each person’s needs. Laura aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can process painful emotions, learn healthier coping patterns, and make concrete changes in areas like self-esteem, career, finances, parenting, and compassion fatigue.

Based in Kansas, Laura brings years of experience supporting individuals and families through transitions, trauma, and emotional distress. She emphasizes collaboration, helping people recognize resilience and practical resources so they can reclaim more satisfaction and steadiness in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Laura frequently integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical behavior changes; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. She also uses mindfulness therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with strong emotions, trauma symptoms, and attention difficulties. Motivational interviewing is employed when clients seek to build motivation for change and clarify personal goals.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process and Laura emphasizes collaboration in selecting techniques that fit each person’s needs, values, and pace. She works with clients to adjust methods over time so sessions remain relevant and goal-oriented rather than fixed on a single modality.

Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexible scheduling around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions or busy periods and to access licensed professionals without geographic constraints.
