Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Laura Brown draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people access their own resources so they can make choices that fit their values - it is useful for relationships, parenting concerns, and building self-esteem. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to change patterns of behavior, which can help with anxiety, motivation, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Laura works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so that therapeutic work fits the individual's pace and priorities.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage from different locations and schedules, maintain continuity during busy periods or life transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports their needs.
