About Laura

Laura Herp is a Kentucky-licensed LCSW with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to ADHD. She approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper therapeutic work to support changes that matter in daily life. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship in which the clinician listens closely, adapts interventions to fit personal circumstances, and supports steps toward greater well-being.

Laura draws on evidence-informed methods to address a wide range of issues including grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, career challenges, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, eating and self-esteem struggles.

She frames seeking help as a courageous choice and positions herself as a steady guide through that process, helping clients explore options and build sustainable skills for coping and growth.

Mindfulness and Internal Family Systems Online

Mindfulness Therapy is used to help clients become more aware of present-moment experience through simple attention and breathing exercises. This approach can reduce reactivity to stress and support clearer thinking when facing anxiety, mood shifts, or day-to-day pressures.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle model that explores the different parts of a person’s inner world and how those parts relate to one another. IFS can be helpful for working with trauma responses, self-esteem struggles, addictive patterns, and complicated emotional states by fostering greater internal clarity and self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is often part of the therapeutic process and will be explored collaboratively. The therapist works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and which methods fit best, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These remote formats can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from Kentucky without traveling to an office.
