About me

My name is Laura King, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) located in Georgia. I received a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Columbus State University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from The University of North Georgia.

I have over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health counseling in both inpatient and outpatient settings as well as within the prison system. Throughout my years as a therapist, I have worked with clients who simply need to talk through life events that they have not adjusted to well all the way to clients who have significant and debilitating mental illnesses. Most recently, I worked for over 3 years in a women's prison treating women who have dual-diagnoses (both a substance problem and a mental health problem)

My theoretical orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I focus on helping clients identify how their thought patterns influence their emotions and behaviors. It is important to me that my clients feel supported during therapy and build upon their strengths to make the positive changes they desire.

In recent years I have begun integrating a holistic approach to my counseling practice. I received a certification in Holistic Nutrition in order to provide my clients with increased knowledge of how their daily nutrition impacts their mental health as well as overall wellness.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura King. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Laura is a wonderful listener and was generous with her feedback and advice. She was very responsive to my messages. I enjoyed her weekly memos to all her clients. I only did a couple of live sessions with video and those make me nervous, but she was warm and positive.

I have been working with Laura for a while now, starting with a tragic death in our extended family that caused quite a bit of anxiety for me as a monther. She helped me work through that and so much more. I enjoy speaking to her about big things and trivial things. She has good insight and is relatable. She validates my feelings even when I know my anxiety is often caused by "first world problems." I often reflect on the things that she has written long after we spoke.
