About Laura

Laura Tellez is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She provides services in English and Spanish and supports clients who are looking for clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day coping.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and concrete steps. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try small changes to test what works. That can mean learning tools to ease anxiety, practicing different ways to communicate in close relationships, or addressing the effects of past hurt.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors that keep difficulties alive. Mindfulness techniques and Solution-Focused methods are used to build attention and set short-term goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past experiences need careful attention.

Laura frames work as a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear short-term aims and picks practical skills to practice between sessions. Conversations are direct and focused on what can shift in daily life.

She works bilingually in English and Spanish and practices in Texas as an LCSW. Before booking, people are asked to confirm current session options and formats so arrangements match their needs.

How her methods translate to online work

Laura integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that suits remote conversations. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them name priorities and decide next steps. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and then trying specific, practical experiments to change how someone feels and acts.

She also uses Mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress responses and gain brief tools for grounding and attention. These approaches can help with anxiety, relationship stress, and everyday coping. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work; she will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into their schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Discuss scheduling and format choices up front so sessions can be arranged to match work, family, and daily routines.
