About Laura Clarke
Laura Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of experience supporting adults, teens, and families through periods of depression, anxiety, burnout, and other mental health challenges. She works from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective, helping people identify existing resources and build on them to foster growth and resilience. Laura has experience with LGBTQ+ clients and offers individual, family, and group therapy tailored to each person or household.
Her practice emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. During an initial session she reviews background information, discusses what the client hopes to accomplish, and explains her therapeutic approach while answering any questions. Preparation for a first appointment is flexible - some clients bring notes or questions, while others prefer to begin with an open conversation.
Laura also provides teletherapy options, enabling people to meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging when that format better fits their needs. As an LPC, she is a state-licensed mental health professional trained to assess, diagnose, and treat emotional and behavioral concerns using evidence-informed therapeutic methods.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Laura Clarke integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, which focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - this approach can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical skills for managing symptoms like low mood or worry. In addition, Laura draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, emphasizing empathy and collaboration to create a supportive space where clients lead the pace and focus of change.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy with Laura offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and access needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, school, caregiving, or mobility considerations, and allow licensed professionals to deliver therapy in a convenient, accessible format.
