About Laura

Laura Marshall is an LCSW who centers evidence-based therapies to help people manage mood, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience in Florida, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor care for each person's concerns, including depression, ADHD, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and gradual change.

Laura helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build coping strategies, and practice behavior changes that support daily functioning. She also addresses related issues such as body image, communication problems, post-traumatic stress, and substance concerns, aiming to strengthen emotional regulation and problem-solving abilities.

Sessions focus on collaborative goal-setting and techniques that can be applied between meetings. Laura communicates in English and offers multiple online formats so clients in Florida can access support that fits their schedules and preferences.

Her professional license is FL LCSW SW9556, reflecting a long-standing commitment to social work practice.

Applying Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties. CBT emphasizes structured exercises and behavioral experiments that translate well to virtual formats. She also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense mood swings, self-harm urges, and relationship distress.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and real-life needs, adjusting techniques over time so the interventions remain relevant and achievable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible access for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it possible to practice skills between meetings, check in when progress stalls, and maintain continuity of care without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to these channels to support consistent skill-building and problem-solving.
