About Laura

Laura Wheeler, LPC, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting and caregiver challenges, and difficulties related to ADHD such as impulsivity and trouble with focus and memory.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience in Michigan, she emphasizes clients' existing strengths and collaborates to build practical skills that support meaningful change and improved day-to-day functioning. She draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, bibliotherapy, and other person-centered tools.

Her style centers on working together to identify goals, learn coping skills for symptoms like anxiety or impulsive behavior, and create steps that lead to more satisfying routines and relationships.

Laura values the courage it takes to seek help and aims to empower clients as they move toward clearer focus, greater emotional balance, and a stronger sense of purpose. Sessions are structured around what the client wants to achieve while adapting methods to fit individual preferences and practical life demands.

Practical evidence-based approaches for online care

Laura integrates widely used, evidence-based techniques to help clients build skills and manage symptoms. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms and to improve daily routines. Dialectical behavior skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness tools that are useful for impulsivity and intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process between client and therapist. She works with each person to assess goals, try approaches that fit their preferences, and adjust methods over time so treatment remains practical and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support without rearranging life plans. These options allow sessions to fit into work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals who tailor strategies to each person's everyday context.
