About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, anger, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and behavior rather than labels or jargon.
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort through what is happening and what they want to change. Sessions aim to identify patterns that lead to outbursts or simmering resentment and to practice alternatives that feel doable in everyday life. Laura draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the dialogue focused on the person’s perspective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when clients want structured tools to shift thoughts and behaviors linked to anger and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and track progress from week to week. These approaches are applied in ways that emphasize practical steps and measurable changes.
Her background includes work with caregiving stress, blended family issues, aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, workplace difficulties, and women’s issues. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, and the strains of parenting.
Conversations typically begin with what’s most pressing, then move to small experiments clients can try between sessions. Laura notes the first step can feel hard, and she guides people through concise planning and regular review of what helps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations center on the person’s perspective and what matters most to them. CBT brings structured tools to identify patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anger and anxiety and to practice alternatives. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on setting short-term, practical goals and measuring small steps of progress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to try methods and adjust based on what helps. The emphasis is on testing small changes, reviewing what worked, and adapting plans to fit the client’s goals and preferences.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simple to use CBT worksheets and track goals between meetings, so practical tools get used in day-to-day life.
