About Laura
Laura Brum is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and stress. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and recovery from trauma or abuse.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are respectful and free of stigmatizing labels. She aims to make therapy feel approachable rather than intimidating.
Laura focuses on practical next steps people can try between visits.
Background and approach
Laura uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in when they fit.
In sessions she helps people build coping skills, manage strong emotions like anger, and set realistic goals for change. She also works on communication patterns, attachment concerns, and handling life transitions. Progress is mapped to what the individual wants to achieve.
Her background includes a decade of counseling in a rural setting, where she gained broad experience across mood, trauma, and stress-related concerns. Laura invites people who are ready to take a step toward change to start with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help clarify what matters most and build motivation to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. Online CBT often uses structured conversations and practical homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle anger more effectively.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. That can include breathing and grounding techniques, distress tolerance tools, and clearer communication skills suited to everyday situations.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone calls can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
