About Laura
Laura Marshall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, mood concerns, and the effects of trauma. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, with a focus on skills people can use between sessions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make difficult changes, including around substance use and other habits. Laura has worked across many concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, addictions, eating issues, and parenting stress. She also helps with body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and self-harm concerns.
Anger management is one of the areas she addresses through skill-building and problem-solving. Sessions center on clear goals and real strategies. People practice new ways of coping, communication, and self-care.
Laura emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable. Her approach blends problem-focused work with trauma-informed care when needed. She offers a mix of short-term solutions and longer-term support, tailoring sessions to what each person needs right now.

How evidence-based approaches translate online
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when intense feelings make daily life hard.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and past experiences, and then try methods that fit those needs. That may mean focusing on short-term problem solving first or adding trauma-focused techniques when past events are affecting current functioning.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and practicing skills together. Phone calls are an option when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can serve as brief check-ins, help track progress, and support between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while still using evidence-based approaches.
