About Laura

Laura Lee Adams is an LCSW based in Mississippi with 26 years of clinical experience. She centers a collaborative, strengths-based approach that recognizes clients as experts in their own lives while offering guidance through stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses relationship difficulties, family and parenting challenges, grief and trauma, and a range of behavioral and emotional issues including addictions, bipolar symptoms, anger, sleep problems, and self-esteem difficulties.

Adams integrates attention to identity and relational patterns, supporting people navigating LGBT concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, and complex experiences such as domestic violence or codependency. She also offers focus on less commonly discussed areas like BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, fertility and fatherhood issues, and forgiveness work.

With a pragmatic yet empathetic stance, she aims to help clients build coping strategies, clarify goals, and move toward more satisfying day-to-day functioning. Her practice invites those ready to take the first step toward change to work together on personalized plans that honor strengths and lived experience while addressing practical life stressors.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Care

Laura Lee Adams draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills and improving daily functioning. One approach emphasizes identifying strengths and collaborative problem solving to manage stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges; this method helps clients develop routines, organizational strategies, and coping tools that fit their lives. Another commonly used approach centers on processing relationships and attachment patterns to address family conflict, grief, and trauma; this work explores relational dynamics and supports healthier communication and boundary setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to clarify goals, assess what strategies resonate, and adjust methods over time to match needs and preferences. This partnership helps tailor interventions to both short-term concerns and longer-term growth.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people in different parts of Mississippi. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access sessions from home, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for speaking, reflecting, or working between sessions.
