Laura Braswell , LCSW

Laura Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and counselor with post-graduate training from Rutgers University and Princeton. She also holds a Master of Divinity degree with a focus on counseling, a combination that informs both her clinical perspective and her attention to spiritual concerns. Based in Florida, she brings three years of formal professional experience across multiple clinical settings, offering group, individual, and couples work.

Across her practice Laura has focused on supporting people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and loss, fertility and adoption challenges, and complex parenting and relationship difficulties. She draws on a blend of clinical methods and life experience - including long-term marriage and parenting both biological and foster children - to connect practical strategies with empathy and understanding. Her approach emphasizes helping people reclaim a sense of purpose, interrupt destructive patterns, set achievable goals, and make meaningful changes in how they respond to others.

Laura describes healing as a process that often includes motivation and spiritual guidance alongside therapy. She positions herself as a collaborative partner who values clients' strengths and lived experience, working to help them move toward greater stability, resilience, and direction in life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that align with their values - useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and parenting, and it can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, adoption or foster care issues, and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a common option for anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and personally meaningful.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and differing schedules. These formats increase accessibility for people in various locations and allow for continued support during life transitions, offering flexibility while working toward clients' goals.
