About Laura
Laura Arnold is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and other life changes. Laura speaks English and practices from South Carolina while accepting international clients via online formats.
Her style is warm and conversational. Sessions are interactive and focus on building trust first.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard and make steady changes. Laura often uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She pairs that with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing for emotional regulation and motivation when needed. Her background includes work in independent practice and in settings that treat substance use and behavioral health concerns. That experience informs a flexible approach to problems like addiction, trauma, and personality-related struggles.
Laura emphasizes empathy and respect as the foundation for progress. People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, concrete coping skills, and gradual goal-setting. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and supports them through setbacks as they work toward better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy centers each session on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for stress, depression, anger, and many everyday struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing listening-focused Client-Centered work with CBT exercises or adding DBT skills for emotion regulation. The plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to share thoughts between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options help fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to keep consistent momentum.
