About Laura

Laura France is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who draws on 15 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She centers her work on practical, skills-based interventions that support clients through life transitions and parenting challenges while helping them strengthen day-to-day coping strategies. Her approach often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and build concrete steps forward.

Laura pays close attention to issues that commonly underlie emotional distress, including guilt and shame, control struggles, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. She emphasizes communication skills, self-compassion, and forgiveness as pathways to greater resilience.

In sessions she offers thoughtful, nonjudgmental guidance aimed at clarifying goals and fostering sustainable change. Committed to inclusive care, Laura works collaboratively with each person to tailor interventions to their priorities and circumstances.

Her practice is oriented toward practical progress - helping clients learn tools they can use between sessions while honoring each individual’s values and strengths.

Applying CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical strategies such as experimentation with new responses and structured skill-building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable changes; it emphasizes goal-setting and short-term actions that move a person toward their desired outcomes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This partnership helps ensure sessions remain relevant and focused on meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from their own schedules and locations within accepted regions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they support a variety of communication styles to match individual comfort and practical needs.
