Laura Arnold , LCPC, LPC

Laura Arnold is a licensed psychotherapist with nine years of clinical experience who supports adults facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She holds multiple counseling licenses - Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), which denotes training to provide therapeutic services, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) - and has completed specialized training in depression and anxiety through the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Philadelphia. Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a warm, person-focused stance to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Her clinical background includes work in private practice as well as in substance abuse inpatient programs, partial hospitalization, outpatient treatment settings, and correctional facilities. Over the years she has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, behavioral and personality challenges, grief, relationship difficulties, and issues related to sexuality and intimacy. She also works with clients navigating life transitions, attention and mood disorders, and interpersonal problems such as attachment and codependency.

Therapeutically she brings compassion and steady regard to the room, favoring a conversational and interactive style. She integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to her work, and she aims to encourage, empower, and guide clients as they take steps toward greater well-being and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Convenience of Online Care

Laura integrates client-centered therapy in her practice, which emphasizes empathy, listening, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and valued while exploring their goals and concerns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. In addition, dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model onto every client.

Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These options allow for flexibility in how and when clients engage in therapy, supporting continuity of care whether someone prefers spoken conversation or more frequent written check-ins. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver effective, individualized support that fits modern life.
