About Laura
Laura Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, addictions, relationship and grief among the concerns she works with. Laura also notes interests in issues such as attachment, adoption and foster care, fertility, and body image.
She approaches sessions in a direct, practical way informed by personal and professional experience. Conversations focus on what is happening now, the patterns that keep causing pain, and small steps clients can try between meetings. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Laura also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when relevant. That means she may help a person clarify values, practice emotional acceptance, and look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Sessions mix short-term problem-solving with attention to longer-standing relational patterns.
Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings and experience leading both individual and group counseling. She has also worked with people facing complex parenting situations, adoption and foster care concerns, and grief related to loss and life changes. Her Masters of Divinity with a counseling focus is part of her training background.
People who come to Laura often want a therapist who speaks plainly, offers concrete tools, and includes life experience in the conversation. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to ensure they match your needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take actions that match their values. It can be useful for guilt, shame, and decisions about relationships or parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep repeating.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand patterns around intimacy, trust, and abandonment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can happen during the first few sessions and adjust over time.
