About Laura

Laura Hattrup is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, career challenges, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she focuses on practical strategies that build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and restore a sense of balance when emotions feel overwhelming. Laura uses a collaborative, strengths-based stance to help clients identify resources and take steps toward clearer goals.

Her practice blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to support emotional regulation, problem solving, and healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.

Over more than a decade and a half she has worked with individuals and families across a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and money-related stress. Laura aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore painful experiences, process loss, and develop practical tools that fit their daily lives.

She holds KS LSCSW LSCSW 4251 and MO LCSW 2023025897 and provides services from Kansas. Laura encourages people who are ready for change to take the first step toward clearer priorities and improved coping.

Approaches that guide online work and practical support

Laura integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods alongside mindfulness practices to guide online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura will work with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from Kansas without travel, maintain continuity during life changes, and incorporate brief check-ins or longer therapy sessions as needed.
