About Laura

Laura Fletcher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. She combines counseling and health coaching perspectives to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. Laura works with concerns such as depression, addictions, self-esteem, caregiving stress, and issues tied to illness and aging. She also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.

Laura spent many years in health settings and organizational roles, including work at a major cancer center. That background shapes how she thinks about coping, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She often helps people notice what matters to them, and then looks for small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her approach mixes evidence-informed tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and grounding. Attachment-based ideas inform how patterns in close relationships are understood.

She also uses EMDR as one of several trauma-focused tools and draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Laura speaks English and works from a clinical and coaching lens rather than a purely medical one.

People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation, practical skills to practice, and attention to both emotional and lifestyle factors. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Laura integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices in ways that fit remote sessions. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which can be done through conversation, worksheets, and between-session assignments. Mindfulness therapy involves brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ground attention during daily life.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns show up now. That helps when addressing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, or feelings tied to family of origin and grief. Together, these approaches give both skills and context for understanding persistent guilt and shame.

Finding the best fit is collaborative. Laura asks about a person's goals, preferences, and tolerances, and then suggests approaches to try. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful to the person.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. When offered, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use talk-based work, guided mindfulness exercises, and practical CBT tasks in online appointments to support daily coping and gradual change.
