About Laura
Laura Angers Maddox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and rebuild everyday life. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and challenges like anger and addiction. Laura aims to create a respectful, steady counseling relationship that feels safe to speak openly in.
She brings nine years of clinical experience across settings such as group homes, office-based care, and in-home counseling.
Background and approach
That background gives practical insight into how life circumstances affect mood, behavior, and relationships. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with real tactics people can use between meetings. Laura blends client-centered listening with structured methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
For work around trauma and abuse she draws on trauma-focused strategies to help process difficult memories and reduce distressing symptoms. Solution-focused tools are used to identify immediate steps toward relief and clearer communication. Therapy sessions typically include skills practice, problem-solving, and discussion about patterns that keep problems repeating.
Laura also addresses family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, intimacy and sexual assault recovery, and panic or social anxiety symptoms. She supports people dealing with career strain, women's issues, young adult transitions, and bipolar-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit modern life.
Laura helps people sort out priorities, set manageable goals, and try changes that lead to steadier days.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and priorities to help them feel heard and understood. This approach is helpful when emotional support and a nonjudgmental space are needed.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions teach practical skills such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger over time.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation and managing intense reactions. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and clearer communication, useful for strong mood swings, relationship conflicts, and impulse-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match the client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. That collaborative process helps pick tools that fit the person's life and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily routines.
