About Laura
Her background includes long experience in healthcare settings and organizational change. She spent many years at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center working in integrative health, behavioral health, wellness, and system change. That history informs how she looks at chronic illness, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior and feelings.
She works with trauma using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing approaches and other trauma-focused tools to reduce distress tied to difficult memories. Coaching methods are part of her offer when people want clear goals, accountability, and action plans around work, meaning, or lifestyle change.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations, planning, and skills practice. She frames work around strengths and learning rather than labels. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Laura integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in clear, actionable ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness practices help people notice their experience and build simple skills for emotional regulation and attention.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and connections. That approach can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and self-esteem by naming patterns and trying different ways of relating. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; she will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day, quicker check-ins when schedules are tight, and the ability to meet without travel. Some formats use less bandwidth or do shorter, focused sessions when a full visit does not fit. If you want a mix of coaching and skills practice, discuss that when you schedule so sessions can be planned to match daily life and goals.
