About Laura

Laura Walls is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience in Virginia. She blends evidence-based methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people gain clarity and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses relationship dynamics, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions, with attention to how attachment patterns and communication habits shape daily functioning. Drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and attachment-focused interventions, she supports clients in increasing self-awareness, improving coping strategies, and strengthening emotional regulation.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and real-world tools that help reduce overwhelm, improve sleep and concentration, and navigate career or caregiving pressures. Laura has substantial experience across diverse counseling settings and seeks to create an environment where exploration and growth can unfold at the client’s pace.

She practices in Virginia and offers flexible session formats to accommodate different schedules and needs. Prospective clients can expect a steady, empathetic partner who combines practical intervention with attention to values and personal goals.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Laura combines cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work to help clients make practical changes and explore relational patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address attention or sleep problems. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence emotion regulation and intimacy, helping clients develop healthier interpersonal responses and clearer communication.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions, adjusting methods over time so treatment matches evolving needs and circumstances.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or work while still working with a licensed professional.
