About Laura
Laura Richardson is a Florida licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, family and parenting issues, depression, and substance concerns. She also helps with relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions.
She uses a client-centered way of working that keeps the person’s goals in focus. That means sessions center on the client's priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her practice when people want concrete skills for handling thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps such as calming strategies, clearer communication, and problem-solving for family tensions. She can help people recognize triggers, try new responses, and practice skills that reduce snap reactions at home or work.
Her background includes two decades of helping people through trauma, addiction concerns, and complicated family patterns like blended family and adoption-related stress. She also supports those dealing with abandonment issues, attachment concerns, caregiver strain, guilt, and forgiveness work.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place under her Florida LMHC credential. International clients are not accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the service button provided.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let conversations focus on immediate concerns and goals, with the client directing what to work on each time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and homework to practice calming skills between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration continues as skills are tried and adjusted to what works in daily life.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to check in during a work break or to keep continuity when life is hectic. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list exact options. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to focus on calming strategies, communication skills, and behavior changes in ways that fit everyday routines.
