About Laura
Laura Hank is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common and painful concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and parenting strain. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can begin to sort out what feels overwhelming and learn practical ways to cope.
Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on small steps that lead to change.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered listening so people feel heard, and cognitive behavioral tools to help reframe thinking and change unhelpful patterns. Laura also integrates mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and build emotional awareness. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress between meetings.
Together these methods help with anger, relationship stress, mood swings, and social anxiety. She brings experience from school settings, telehealth, and community outpatient work. That background shapes a practical style that emphasizes skills you can use right away.
Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and increase confidence in daily life. People can expect straightforward guidance and supportive feedback in each session. The work is paced to fit individual needs, with attention to building lasting habits and realistic steps toward feeling better.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead to identify concerns and strengths, which helps when focusing on anger, relationships, or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change reactions. It is useful for stress, mood disorders, social anxiety, and anger management.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises for emotional regulation, then adding CBT tools to change unhelpful thinking, or using solution-focused steps to set short-term goals. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and work in real time, while phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day and to get timely reminders of skills between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep a steady routine and to practice new skills in everyday life.
