Laura Nagy , LPC

Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with a Masters in Agency Counseling and a long career in the mental health field that began in 1995. Over that time she has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma and abuse, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and addictive behaviors, along with relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, career stressors, and issues around intimacy, eating, and sleep. Her practice also addresses stress, grief, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, anger, and many life transitions including blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, abandonment, and midlife questions.

Trained in client-centered and solution-focused methods and experienced with equine-assisted therapy, she emphasizes a strengths-based, collaborative approach that lets clients set their own goals. She often pairs practical between-session work with exploration of personal resources and natural supports so progress continues outside the therapy hour. Laura draws on a range of techniques - including elements of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic thinking when appropriate - to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Laura lives in Michigan with her husband and daughter and brings steady, respectful support to clients navigating difficult moments. She encourages the courage it takes to seek help and focuses on building tools that promote ongoing well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Laura Nagy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, offering a supportive environment in which clients guide the direction of work while the therapist reflects, listens, and helps clarify priorities - it is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, grief, and general life transitions. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals, identifying strengths and small changes that can produce forward movement; it often works well for stress, coping with life changes, and specific relationship or parenting challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides structured techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand needs, preferences, and goals and then combine methods that fit best rather than relying on a single model. This tailored planning helps keep therapy focused and relevant.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments and to access licensed professionals and therapists from the place that works best for the client.
