About Laura

Laura Roland is a licensed counselor with 22 years of clinical experience who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, straightforward style to help adults address the roots of persistent problems.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods to support people navigating anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, grief, and trauma-related concerns. Her approach combines homework and skill practice with conversational exploration to move beyond surface-level coping and toward lasting change.

Clients work with her on a wide range of issues including ADHD, codependency and boundary struggles, chronic pain and autoimmune-related impacts, complex trauma and emotional abuse recovery, intimacy and relationship dynamics, and life or identity transitions.

Laura describes her stance as direct but caring, offering worksheets, weekly challenges, and concrete assignments to reinforce sessions and foster skill-building between meetings. She emphasizes collaboration and readiness for change, partnering with clients who are motivated to do the work.

Licensed in Florida with credentials LPC and LMHC, Laura focuses on adult individual work and frames treatment around measurable skills, emotional regulation, and reframing unhelpful patterns to support more resilient daily functioning.

Online approaches that build skills and relational insight



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and daily stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients understand and change long-standing interaction styles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client's goals and experiences guide the work and the therapist offers support and reflection rather than directing change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques - often combining methods - to find what fits best. That collaborative stance helps ensure interventions match the client's priorities and readiness for work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent treatment into busy schedules or when travel is difficult. These formats allow therapists to provide skills, assignments, and check-ins that reinforce progress between sessions while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
