About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family challenges. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Laura works from a respectful and compassionate stance and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.
She uses a conversational, goal-minded style that focuses on what the person needs now. Sessions are shaped around the client’s concerns and practical steps for change. Laura adapts her approach to each person rather than following one fixed method.
Over a decade of experience informs her work. That background includes supporting people with workplace issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, communication problems, forgiveness work, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and women’s issues. Laura draws on a range of techniques to suit these different situations.
Her methods include client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral tools to notice and shift thinking patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set and reach short-term goals. These methods are used in simple, concrete ways that someone can practice between sessions.
Laura encourages people to move at their own pace. She will listen, help clarify priorities, and co-create steps that fit each person’s life. If you are thinking about therapy, she asks you to take that first step and begin with a short matching process to see if it feels like a good fit.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and centers conversations on what they want to address. This approach helps with emotional support, life transitions, and relationship concerns by following the person’s pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for learning practical skills to change reactions in daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at clear, small goals and practical steps to reach them. It can help people make fast, doable changes when they need immediate relief or direction.
Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That assessment happens together over the first few sessions so plans can be adjusted as needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. Because session options are not specified in the biography, confirm the current online session formats before booking. The focus will be on practical work you can use between meetings and shaping therapy to fit everyday life.
