About Laci

Laci Unruh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and life changes. Laci also addresses issues such as addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD-related struggles.

She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective. That means she focuses on the person in front of her and adapts sessions to what they need. Sessions are meant to be practical and straightforward, not full of jargon. Laci uses tools that help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding to difficult situations.

Her work includes cognitive-behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors contributing to stress and anger. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people slow down, notice feelings, and reduce reactivity. These methods are used together to manage moments of high emotion and build healthier habits over time.

Laci pays attention to patterns that come from attachment, abandonment, and forgiveness issues. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and body image concerns while building clearer goals for relationships and life purpose. Her approach is steady and practical, helping clients break big problems into manageable steps.

People who come to Laci often want straightforward help with day-to-day challenges. She invites clients to try tools in between sessions and to report back on what worked. The focus is on learning concrete skills and making gradual changes that fit each person’s life.

How sessions work

How her approaches fit into online work

The client-centered approach puts the person’s goals and preferences first. In practice this means sessions focus on the issues the client brings and on small, useful changes they want to make. It helps when someone wants a conversational, goal-focused place to try different coping skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices alternative responses. This can be useful for anger, anxiety, panic, and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness practices teach noticing sensations and emotions without immediately reacting. Simple exercises can reduce reactivity and create space to choose a different response. Mindfulness pairs well with CBT and client-centered work when the goal is to manage strong emotions in the moment.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or combination fits best, based on goals and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative, step-by-step effort rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm which formats are available before scheduling. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options when camera use is difficult. Discuss practical scheduling needs when setting up the first session to find an arrangement that works.
