About Laura

Laura Lathan is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family challenges, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. She aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients can learn practical skills for managing intense emotions and day-to-day conflicts.

Background and approach

Laura emphasizes collaboration, combining professional knowledge with clients' own insights so individuals can better understand their experiences and move toward meaningful change. Her practice highlights skill-building approaches to address a range of difficulties including mood disorders, communication struggles, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation.

Laura draws on methods that help clients reframe unhelpful thinking and develop healthier responses to stress. Parents seeking support for both their own stress and family dynamics will find a therapist who prioritizes clear, usable tools and steady guidance.

Based in Alabama, Laura brings three years of clinical experience and holds the credential AL LICSW 6622C. She provides care in English and offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, focusing on helping clients gain confidence, coping strategies, and clearer direction in their lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Laura incorporates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts to change mood and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress responses. Both approaches are often used to address anxiety, mood challenges, impulsivity, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and daily challenges, then adapts techniques and pacing so treatment fits each person's needs. This collaborative stance allows for adjustments over time as priorities and responses evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between appointments, and access care from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can use these tools to support ongoing skill-building and problem solving in practical ways that fit modern life.
