About Laura

Laura Gannon is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, family problems, low self-esteem, and depression. She also works with issues such as life purpose, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and midlife transitions.

She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what patterns are getting in the way, and small steps that can make daily life easier. She uses familiar, direct techniques so people can try changes between sessions and notice what helps.

Her approach blends several methods. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel uncertain about change, helping them find personal reasons to move forward.

Sessions often address communication problems, control issues, substance use, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She pays attention to practical barriers like caregiver duties and chronic pain, and helps people shape goals that fit their everyday responsibilities.

People who come to her can expect clear discussion about goals, specific techniques to practice between sessions, and regular check-ins on what is working. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches used and online session details

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps clarify what matters most to the individual, which can be useful for people questioning direction or purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and behavioral habits related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which techniques fit the client's goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process with regular checks to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep momentum between appointments and practice strategies in real-life settings.
