About Laura
Laura Husband is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or relationship strain. Her approach centers on building a trusting connection so clients can talk about hard things without judgment.
Her work often involves people who have lived through trauma, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, sleep trouble, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, and questions related to gender and sexual identity.
Background and approach
Laura describes herself as LGBTQIA+ affirming and trauma informed. In sessions she emphasizes practical skills and clear steps. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities.
She combines motivational interviewing, solution-focused tools, and mindfulness to help people notice what works for them. Laura also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are brought in when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Her aim is to offer tools that reduce immediate distress and build longer-term coping. She has a background in community mental health and clinical supervision, which shaped her experience with a wide range of concerns. Laura invites clients to set small goals and to try concrete strategies between sessions.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

How Laura’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s priorities and following their pace. Online sessions let Laura listen closely and shape sessions around what the client says matters most in their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In remote sessions this becomes hands-on work: identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and checking results between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress, which can be practiced during calls and reinforced with short exercises between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laura will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. The process is collaborative and aims to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins, skill practice, or brief reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into busy lives.
