Laura is such an amazing, intuitive therapist. She knows how to read her patients and provide exactly what they are needing in that moment. She exudes calmness and understanding. I can’t recommend her enough.

I haven’t been in therapy in 20 years because I wasn’t sure if I would have to “shop” for a therapist and that felt like too much work. I have better help a shot one night and was paired with Laura. Laura is so easy to talk to. She listens and never interrupts. I’m extremely happy with her so far.

More about Laura

  • LCSW

Hello! I am a licensed therapist in North Carolina with 7 years of counseling experience and 11 years working within the mental health field. My therapy background includes working with children, teens, adults, and couples. I specialize in helping clients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, self-esteem, personality disorders, and healing from trauma. Deciding to talk to someone can feel scary or intimidating but my goal is to support you each step of the way. Whether you are returning to therapy or just starting, I strive to approach each individual and situation with an open mind, empathy, and kindness. I believe effective therapy provides honest objectivity that can help you gain insight and motivate you to make positive changes in your life. I hope to encourage and empower you to see your full potential and to focus on your strengths as well as your areas of concern. I aim not to "fix" you but to support you in a safe space towards your journey to wellness.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Laura is the only therapist I have felt like actually hears me and knows how to talk to me without making me feel small. I love her!

Reviewed July 2024

I can’t thank her enough. Laura’s sessions feel like what it would’ve been like to talk to Alan Watts. I used to have a distorted view on therapy until I met her, and she’s been possibly the strongest pillar in my foundation of support since then. She’s understanding, gentle where it hurts, and firm where all else needs that extra strength to prevent internal collapses. She challenges me in a way that doesn’t feel like she’s pushing me to a corner, but gently nudging me away from the one I’ve hidden myself in out of fear of vulnerability, exposure. I’ve never felt more Naked and Afraid TM. I’ve never felt safer. Looking forward to continuing my journey alongside her long term, hopefully even after things sort themselves out for the better. Thank you, Laura.

Laura is kind and thoughtful. She validates my thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while also suggests tools, thought patterns, and ideas to better manage those feelings and experiences for a better outcome.

Reviewed May 2024

Laura is seriously the best therapist I've ever had. She's kind, she's attentive, and she understands or at least does her best to understand instead of just offering three or four different solutions as I discuss my issues. She listens to me completely to understand the entire situation. She's sympathetic and lets me cry if I need to. She's everything a therapist should be. And in a lot of ways, she shares stories that are relatable to my situations so I don't feel alone. She knows exactly what to do and what to say. She's the best therapist anybody could ask for and I would recommend her to literally anyone in need of therapy.

When I first signed up with Better help,my therapist didn't show and then just didn't seem like they really wanted to help. Instead of just canceling, I sifted through the available therapists and found Laura. I am so glad I did! After many years of just feeling unheard from prior mental health professionals, I finally feel heard! She explains everything in a new light and makes it easier to see what's been missing all this time. It really makes all the difference in a healing journey to have someone like Laura by your side.

They try to relate my experiences and needs in a easy to understand way. They listen and let me discovery my processes my own way.

Laura is the best! She’s very experienced & offers help on a variety of topics. She does an excellent job curating a safe space for me to express myself while also feeling heard & understood. She challenges me in a positive way to work on self-awareness & growth and offers tangible solutions that I can implement in my daily routine. I have never connected with therapist so well before & I genuinely have fun talking with her, even while discussing some heavy topics. Would definitely recommend

Reviewed November 2023

Laura is a wonderful human being who allows you a safe space to talk and share what's going on in your life. I have had a therapist who avoided emotional topics because they themselves were uncomfortable with people crying or getting upset. But Laura is not like this. If you need to talk, she lets you talk. If you need to cry, she lets you cry. If you need to vent, she will let you vent. She's the perfect therapist and I am so glad I met her. I think I would be completely lost had I not. And something else I love about Laura? She's not afraid to call you out when you're making a really stupid rationalization. But she does it in a way that is respectable and accepting. In other words she says I understand this is how you feel but do you think maybe this could be why this person acted like that. She doesn't judge you, she doesn't make you feel like you're stupid or unworthy. She makes you feel safe at all times. I have recommended Laura to many people and I will continue to do so. No therapist has ever understood me like Laura understands me. No one has ever attempted to understand me like Laura has taken the time to understand me.
