About Laura
Laura Arnold is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and money and financial issues. She brings nine years of clinical work to each session and aims to create a calm, practical space for people to notice what matters and take small steps forward.
Her approach is conversational and interactive. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping tools for anxiety, steps to address substance use, or communication strategies for difficult conversations.
Laura has worked across settings including private practice, substance abuse treatment programs, outpatient services, and correctional facilities. That range informs her direct, plainspoken style and her emphasis on real-world problem solving rather than jargon.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and to build trust in the relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are used when clients need emotion regulation skills or help finding motivation to change.
Laura values steady progress and practical change. She supports people through life transitions, mood challenges, trauma, intimacy-related issues, and concerns around identity and relationships. When money or financial stress is part of the difficulty, she helps people explore the connections between money, values, and daily choices.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening closely, and making the therapy space respectful and nonjudgmental. Online work using this approach concentrates on understanding priorities and shaping sessions around what the client wants to address most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this looks like reviewing recent situations together, identifying patterns, and assigning small, practical exercises to try between meetings to change thinking and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When used online it often combines short skills coaching, emotion regulation tools, and practice of communication techniques relevant to everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she may combine approaches as needed. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people stick with work between sessions and apply new skills in real situations.
