Hello! My name is Laura and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arkansas. I have been working in the field of mental health for more than 10 years. I have experience working with individuals experiencing a variety of issues, such as addiction, depression and anxiety, stress-related issues, communication challenges, family conflict, bipolar, first episode psychosis and many more. I have worked in the school, community mental health, hospital, and private practice settings.
My choice to work in this field comes from the belief that we all benefit from having someone listen, understand, and accept exactly where we are and offer the support necessary to improve the quality of life. With the outbreak of COVID-19 I became more concerned for people that were shut-in and not able to seek help in traditional settings. That is when I pursued my specialization for technology-assisted counseling. I believe in making goals that are realistic and personal to your values and lifestyle. I was able to pursue my passion to help people along their journey at Henderson State University where I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I would describe myself as open-minded and down-to-earth. I often times use a lot of examples to make my ideas into more practical and relatable. I have a great deal of respect for every walk of life and respect everyone’s journey. I appreciate the variety of cultures and have a great respect for a person’s right to hold their own values. I am known for creating a safe and welcomed space. This is your time to confront your goals. I am here to assist you in your mental health goals. I provide CBT, solution-focused, reality therapy, and person-centered strategies as my methodology.
I am mostly available for live chat, but have some availability for live phone/video sessions on alternating weekends. You will have to get with me to see when those weekends are available. I am very responsive to messaging as I check my messages a MINIMUM of twice daily and respond when I can.
I look forward to working with you!

From the very first message i received, she was committed to hearing me and not just listening. Have felt much more relief and less anxiety since our first visit..

In a short time I’ve really gained confidence in myself. Anytime I have a person I deal with in my career who’s having/had suicidal thoughts, I recommend this app right away. It’s convenient and way cheaper than going in person. She’s an amazing person with great respect for me. I feel like she actually listens and gives very detailed instructions or advice.

I truly appreciate the work Laura does. I’ve done therapy before but I’ve never felt seen or heard like I do with Laura. She truly listens to me and encourages me and helps me with all life’s challenges. Truly one of the best counselors in the field now. If people don’t have a Laura in their life I feel bad for them
