About Laura

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings three years of professional practice and a background that combines clinical counseling with a focus on personal and spiritual growth. Laura speaks English and works with adults on a wide range of life challenges. Her approach is practical and straightforward. She helps people address anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and struggles with relationships and parenting. Clients often come with questions about identity, purpose, and major life changes, and she focuses on small, concrete steps that move people forward. Laura uses techniques drawn from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and attachment-focused ideas. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skills you can try between meetings, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She combines professional experience with life experience. That personal perspective informs how she talks through difficult topics like adoption, foster care issues, fertility struggles, and complex family dynamics. Laura aims to be direct but compassionate when helping people build new routines and healthier patterns. Many clients seek help for coping skills, anger or impulse issues, eating and sleeping problems, or career stress. She also supports those facing intimacy concerns, codependency, or recovery from domestic violence and substance issues. The emphasis is on practical change, steady growth, and finding a renewed sense of purpose.

Step 3

How certain approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck when life changes feel overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and safety in relationships. It can help with trust issues, intimacy concerns, and the effects of adoption or foster care history.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. That means adjusting strategies as progress is made and trying different tools until something clicks.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from different places, including international clients, but exact session formats for this therapist are not listed here. Confirm available session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
