About Laura
Laura Richardson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience based in Florida. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening and helping people find what works for them.
She uses a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals in focus. That means sessions are paced by each person's needs and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used when helpful to identify patterns of thought and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Laura has worked across many concerns tied to family and caregiving, including parenting stress, blended family issues, and family-of-origin problems. She also helps people facing substance use concerns, grief, trauma, and difficulties with self-esteem or commitment. In practical terms she helps people develop calming strategies for anger, build clearer communication skills, and create routines that ease everyday stress.
Sessions aim to generate simple, usable steps that can be tried between meetings. People can expect straightforward language and a nonjudgmental tone in sessions. The clinician’s goal is to support progress while keeping the person in control of decisions about their care.

How Laura Richardson Uses Talk Therapy Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. The therapist prioritizes what matters to the client and helps them lead the pace of change. This approach is helpful for people who want support in making decisions and building confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger management, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and choose strategies together. That collaborative process helps match tools to the person’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send thoughts between sessions and keep momentum on busy days. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and day-to-day demands.
