About Laura

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings three years of professional counseling experience and speaks English. She describes a practical, down-to-earth style and emphasizes hope and forward movement for people facing hard moments.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also helps with parenting challenges, relationship struggles, addictions, and coping with life changes. Her work touches on attachment concerns, body image, eating and sleeping problems, and issues around adoption and fertility.

Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered techniques to shape sessions around each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify patterns, set achievable goals, and build small habits that lead to change.

Laura frames counseling as a collaborative process. She says people can shift how they respond to difficult situations and reduce the hold of harmful patterns. She emphasizes practical steps as well as exploring meaning, purpose, and compassion fatigue when relevant.

Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings and experience leading individual and group conversations. She accepts international clients and asks prospective clients to use the site process to get matched and schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based action. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating-related issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns and can guide work on intimacy, communication, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered for online work, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives because they cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Online sessions also make it possible to continue counseling when relocating or when in different time zones.
