About Laura
Laura OMeara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing addiction recovery, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and anger concerns. Her approach centers on listening without judgment and helping people find hope and better coping skills for the future.
Laura emphasizes practical tools alongside self-understanding. She uses strategies to help people notice what matters to them, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build on personal strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her background includes extensive work with people navigating the overlap of addiction and emotional struggles. That experience informs how she talks about triggers, impulsivity, and rebuilding routines.
She helps people develop clearer boundaries and healthier responses to stress. In practice, Laura blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match each person’s needs. She guides clients through exercises, reflective conversation, and skill practice so new habits can take hold.
People come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. Laura helps them identify barriers, repair relationships where possible, and create realistic plans for change. The aim is not to erase difficulty but to learn ways to move forward and build a more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings arise. It often helps with anxiety, grief, and patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and impulse-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathy, reflection, and support to help people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, and may combine elements from different approaches based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a shared process that adapts as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel demands, and more consistent access to sessions during busy weeks. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday life while working on clear skills and plans that transfer to daily routines.
