About Laura

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Laura uses a straightforward, respectful style to help people find clearer choices and build on what already works in their lives.

She believes each person is the narrator and editor of their own story. Sessions emphasize strengths, practical steps, and small changes that add up. Laura supports work on self-esteem, anger, motivation, intimacy-related issues, grief, and challenges around sleep and eating.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based ways of working, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and a client-centered stance. She blends methods to match what a person needs rather than following a single script. That makes room for talking about attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, or blended family questions when they arise.

Over a long career she has also addressed concerns related to chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, sexuality and kink culture, autism and avoidant personality features. She brings calm direction when people face major life changes, career decisions, or caregiving and aging issues. Laura aims to help people move toward clearer values and more workable daily routines.

If you want to explore therapy, she asks people to start by describing what matters most and a few current struggles. From there she works collaboratively to set practical goals and track small steps forward.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters most. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to build trust and clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, values, and preferences. Sessions start by identifying immediate concerns, then try practical strategies and adjust based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to continue therapy during moves or trips and to include coping plans that are practical for everyday life. Speak with the therapist after matching to learn which formats are offered and how they would tailor sessions to your needs.
