More about Laura

11 years' experience
Female
LCSW

My name is Laura Cox. I am an experienced practitioner in the field of social work and counseling. I earned my Bachelors Degree with a minor in Psychology and my Masters Degree in Social Work. I worked for 13 years as a counselor for individuals and families and for almost 3 years as an adjunct professor teaching Masters level Social Work students. I embrace the concepts of understanding a person in their environment and helping people learn how to guide and help themselves. Brief, solution focused therapy is my strong suit. I have experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, grief and helping people and families cope with medical issues.

In my off time, I enjoy any adventure. I love any, and all water sports including scuba diving. The ocean is quiet below the waves. I believe a lot can be learned when you remove the noise.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
