More about Laura
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan who works with adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside, but internally they feel overwhelmed, stuck in worry, ruination, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves and their relationships.
My approach is structured, practical, creative, and compassionate. I integrate evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, and attachment-focused work to help you calm your nervous system, understand patterns that keep you stuck, and build skills that create real, lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, not just a place to vent, but a space where we develop tools you can use in your daily life. We won't just talk about problems, we'll work together to create meaningful, lasting change.
I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, OCD, trauma, burnout, communication/control difficulties, attachment and relationship issues, including accepting difficult life transitions. I strive to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and non-judgmental while also helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Seeking support is a strong, important first step. If you're ready to better understand yourself, feel more emotionally steady, and make real changes in your life, I would be honored to work with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
