Laura Lewis , LPC

Laura Lewis observes that many people cope with anxiety, depression, and major life changes by convincing themselves they are "okay" as long as they can get through the day. She emphasizes that masking or burying difficult feelings does not resolve them and that unresolved triggers can continue to affect daily life.

She acknowledges the courage required to seek help and commends those early steps toward change. Laura approaches counseling with a commitment to creating individualized plans that align with each person’s goals for therapy. By tailoring interventions and pacing to the client’s needs, she aims to make the therapeutic process feel relevant and achievable.

Laura frames therapy as a journey toward greater wellness and positions herself as a fellow traveler who supports clients along the way. Her style centers on empathy, collaboration, and practical guidance to help clients move from surviving to making meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and set the pace. In this approach, the therapist offers empathy, reflection, and acceptance to help individuals explore their feelings and clarify their goals, which can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It uses practical strategies and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage depressive symptoms, and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura Lewis works with clients to understand their needs, values, and goals, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods will best support progress. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits the client rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support from a distance while accommodating different communication preferences.
