About Laura

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings three years of clinical experience and a background that includes a Masters of Divinity focused on counseling. Laura writes from a long personal path through family life and parenting, and she uses that perspective to relate to people facing hard transitions.

She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps. Sessions often involve talking through immediate struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction and setting simple goals to change behavior. Laura uses a mix of approaches to help clients manage emotions and build routines that work for their lives.

Laura blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness and acceptance-focused work to reduce unhelpful thoughts and increase meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics. Client-centered principles guide sessions so the client's priorities lead the pace and topics.

She has experience supporting people with parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, fertility and grief issues, and those coping with life changes. Laura also addresses eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue among other areas.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She encourages small, sustainable changes rather than dramatic overhauls. Clients can expect an approach that combines listening, practical tools, and collaborative goal-setting to help them move forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how past and current relationship patterns affect how someone connects and reacts to others, which can help with intimacy, communication, and parenting struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions can blend these approaches and shift as progress happens so the plan stays relevant to daily life.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or travel, reduce commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these approaches to help clients make steady, practical changes while fitting sessions into everyday routines.
