About Laura

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of professional experience. She combines clinical training with a compassionate, client-focused approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across multiple clinical settings and experience providing individual and group support for complex parenting, adoption and fertility concerns, trauma, and mood-related difficulties. Her style blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices.

Laura emphasizes practical skills alongside personal insight, supporting clients in setting achievable goals, shifting unhelpful patterns, and strengthening coping strategies. She frames change as a collaborative process and aims to help people rediscover purpose, address emotional pain, and move toward healthier routines and relationships.

Laura welcomes international clients and offers flexible remote formats. She describes therapy as a joint effort in which motivation, skill-building, and meaning-making all contribute to recovery and growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages awareness of thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, grief, and persistent emotional pain. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early connections influence current relationships, supporting work on intimacy, communication, and attachment-related wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can combine practical skill-building, reflective exploration, and mindfulness practices so clients can test what helps most for their situation and adjust the plan together over time.

Online therapy with this practitioner is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward tangible progress.
