Laura Bollin

Laura Bollin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) practicing in Washington with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, career questions, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue and workplace-related strain.

Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and find the motivation to make changes. Sessions include conversation, practical tools, and steps to try between meetings.

Laura draws on experience in counseling, hospice, and hospital settings. That background informs how she talks about grief, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver fatigue. She combines clinical methods with everyday language so people can use what they learn right away.

She mentions faith as part of her life and identity and identifies as a Christian and an ally. Outside of work she spends time outdoors, reads, and cares for animals. Those personal details shape a down-to-earth style rather than a clinical distance.

To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies by location.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice small changes that can alter reactions to stress, anxiety, or low mood.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It’s useful for career decisions, breaking unhelpful habits, or moving through life transitions when motivation feels unclear.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how things are going in sessions. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people continue work with a licensed professional when scheduling or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
