Laura Imbriale, LCSW
About me
Hello,
My name is Laura. A poet and writer named Bukowski stated that "Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry". There are times when we need to distinguish the difference.
I am a licensed counselor in the state of Florida. I received my undergraduate degree at Boston College and a Master Degree in Social Work, at Florida International University. For the past 21 years I have served the Youth, Adults and Seniors in supporting their mental health. Focus areas have included, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and interpersonal relationships.
I achieve results by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Care. My primary therapeutic orientation is Client Centered and Solution Focused. I believe that individuals want to grow and evolve, but “life” has a way of growing individuals at a different pace than desired. However, once individuals get into a Solution Focused stance, the anxiety of the situation tends to diminish enough, so people can work on the problem. What a great way to deal with a situation that seems insurmountable.
I am a counselor with a solid reputation that shows authentic concern for individuals and the outcome of their decisions. Protecting an individual’s privacy is of the utmost importance to me and safety is a priority. I will help individuals to gain insight into the problem and creatively develop a plan with obtainable goals.

Being matched with Laura has helped me right away. She's given me tools and helped give me support so I may have the confidence to face my darkness. I've quickly been able to face a few challenges and build an even deeper connection with myself.

I am extremely grateful for what i have learned from Laura. Starting therapy was the first step into my self healing journey, and she made it easier for me to get a sense of what i needed. She welcomed me with open arms, and never made me feel like my problems weren't valid. Especially dealing with my inner child. I appreciate everything she has done for me, and i would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Laura.

So far so good. It’s only been a couple of weeks that Laura and I have communicated with one another and each time I’m able to retrieve valuable nuggets and lessons to help me get through the week.
