So far so good. It’s only been a couple of weeks that Laura and I have communicated with one another and each time I’m able to retrieve valuable nuggets and lessons to help me get through the week.

Laura is amazing! I've been a mess trying to figure things out here, and she has been very supportive. It looks like we might be narrowing down part of my social issues as well, which is what I'm needing the most!
More about Laura
- 21 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello,
My name is Laura. A poet and writer named Bukowski stated that "Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry". There are times when we need to distinguish the difference.
I am a licensed counselor in the state of Florida. I received my undergraduate degree at Boston College and a Master Degree in Social Work, at Florida International University. For the past 21 years I have served the Youth, Adults and Seniors in supporting their mental health. Focus areas have included, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and interpersonal relationships.
I achieve results by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Care. My primary therapeutic orientation is Client Centered and Solution Focused. I believe that individuals want to grow and evolve, but “life” has a way of growing individuals at a different pace than desired. However, once individuals get into a Solution Focused stance, the anxiety of the situation tends to diminish enough, so people can work on the problem. What a great way to deal with a situation that seems insurmountable.
I am a counselor with a solid reputation that shows authentic concern for individuals and the outcome of their decisions. Protecting an individual’s privacy is of the utmost importance to me and safety is a priority. I will help individuals to gain insight into the problem and creatively develop a plan with obtainable goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Laura is amazing! I've been a mess trying to figure things out here, and she has been very supportive. It looks like we might be narrowing down part of my social issues as well, which is what I'm needing the most!
She was literally amazing!!
Being matched with Laura has helped me right away. She's given me tools and helped give me support so I may have the confidence to face my darkness. I've quickly been able to face a few challenges and build an even deeper connection with myself.
I am extremely grateful for what i have learned from Laura. Starting therapy was the first step into my self healing journey, and she made it easier for me to get a sense of what i needed. She welcomed me with open arms, and never made me feel like my problems weren't valid. Especially dealing with my inner child. I appreciate everything she has done for me, and i would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Laura.
I love working with Laura, I always feel heard.
She’s great! It feels like she knows what your thinking and going through.
Laura is a caring and respectful counselor and confidante who understands my problems and constantly encourages me to be my best self.
I have been very happy with her and I owe my progress to her expertise at what she does. She’s phenomenal.
Very kind and understanding.
She is just wonderful!
Laura has been an amazing listener and supported me so much through my journey so far! She has also been able to address all of my issues and has made recommendations that have truly changed my life in a short period of time. I feel like I have a lot to look forward to and that I'll be able to heal from a lot of my trauma and get the help I've needed for a long time. She's very comfortable to talk to and I feel safe opening up to her and being honest about myself and my life.
Laura is extremely helpful and encouraging as I move through a difficult life change. I've had 2 sessions with her and each time we speak, she grounds me as provides tools that I need during this process. Appreciate her assistance and expertise.
Laura is amazing at getting to point and addressing the issues with a plan of action to help. She is easy to talk to and is very good at what she does.
Great information and easy to communicate with!
Very understanding, supporting, and has a way of making me feel like im not the problem all the time and I love that.
Laura and Betterhelp deserver a 11/10 but the scale only goes to 10/10. I appreciate everything. Got me through some life stresses when I just needed an expert opinion that wasn't a close family member or friend. Thank you kindly.
Mrs. Laura truly cares. In our sessions she gives me the tools and also allows me to speak on how I would utilize those tools and follow up to check in. I appreciate her and look forward to more sessions.
In just a matter of a few weeks I am feeling 99% in control of myself with setting boundaries as well.
I got this app during a very low point. Laura was understanding, listened, but wasn’t pushy about forcing me into meeting. It made me feel more comfortable to continue to seek help on my own terms when I felt ready to. She also sent worksheets and resources. It is very nice to have somebody outside my “circle” to talk to, without having to go to an office.
She is very good at listening and probably one of the best people I've ever worked with.
Laura has been able to mentor me on issues regarding addiction, dealing with tough familial situations, and stress from work. Her teaching laid a framework for me to clear my mind of negative things and ultimately to be closer to God, which has been the strongest tool of all. I thank Laura for what she has done for me!
She knows just how to speak to me to get me to understand. She listens so well and always responds to me when I need hed
I have had chronic mild depression my whole 50 year life. Been to therapy, once long term, several other attempts where I did not connect, including a couple on Better Help, but made minimal progress. Laura is the first person who I felt has been able to zero in on the root problem and offer a path to recovery, and for the first time I am cautiously optimistic that with her help she can prod me and work with me to finally achieve happiness
In just 2 short visits she has helped me let go of so may issues that have been holding me back. She terrific!
I have appreciated Laura’s ability to truly listen. She’s great about asking questions to help me understand what I am truly thinking and how to work on it.
Laura is a great counselor. She has great insight and is a great listener. I feel heard and validated. Thank you, Laura!
Laura just really knows how to listen.. our talks always help me closer and closer to where I want to be.
This experience was a difficult step to take. A step I knew I needed to take, but refused it for most of my life. However, it has proven to be worthwhile and one of the best decisions that I've ever made! Dr. Imbriale is as good as advertised, and even that sells her short. So thankful for her patience and understanding. She has given me a clearer, more defined view of my life. I used to live in matte, now I am beginning to live in color. Thank you Dr. Imbriale!!!
Laura is kind, insightful, and has many tools in her toolbox. She has provided and insight that I've never received from other counselors and I can already tell that I'll be able to use what she's teaching me for years to come.
She is kind person and very supportive!
Laura is great!
Laura is exceptionally knowledgable. Do everything she asks for because she is a keeper.
