About Laurel
Laurel Boyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of experience helping people through tough life moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and changes like divorce or career shifts. Laurel works with adults and young adults and pays attention to women's issues and social anxiety.
She listens closely and keeps the work grounded and practical. Laurel believes therapy should feel collaborative. Sessions begin with straight talk about goals and current challenges.
Background and approach
She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior and practices small, manageable changes between sessions. Her background includes approaches that emphasize personal meaning and present-moment awareness. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Mindfulness practices are offered when people want tools to steady stress and reactivity. For deeper emotional material, Laurel draws on Jungian ideas to explore symbols and life themes, and she may integrate hypnotherapy techniques when people are open to gentle, focused work on habits or memories. These methods are used in service of the person's goals, not as standalone promises.
Sessions are practical and compassionate. Laurel helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and manage strong emotions like anger. She also supports those facing grief, career tensions, or compassion fatigue.
The aim is clearer thinking and steadier daily functioning, one step at a time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering support that fits their pace. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence to sort through emotions and decisions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm stress. These skills are useful for managing anxiety, anger, and day-to-day overwhelm because they help people notice thoughts and choose responses instead of reacting automatically.
Existential ideas are sometimes part of the work, helping people face big life questions and clarify what matters to them. That can be useful during major transitions like career changes or relationship endings when people want a clearer sense of direction.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they may try different methods and adjust the plan based on what works in early sessions.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules or locations change.
