About Laura
Laura Boettger is a Florida LMHC with 10 years of professional experience who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, coaching needs, and ADHD. She supports people leaving high-control groups or relationships and those processing post-traumatic stress. Laura works with adults at different stages of transition and adjustment, including when life changes leave someone feeling lost or unsure of themselves.
Laura uses a mix of conversational and structured methods. She blends client-centered listening with approaches that address attachment patterns and life narratives. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and has experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work.
In sessions she meets people where their needs are - from non-directive conversations to more structured, skills-based work. She helps clients name what feels overwhelming, sort through confusing feelings, and try practical skills for handling intense moments. For people leaving controlling environments, she focuses on processing trauma responses and rebuilding a sense of self.
Her work includes attention to dissociation, shame, abandonment concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues. She also supports those dealing with impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Laura pays attention to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.
Clients can expect clear, straightforward collaboration around goals. The practice emphasizes making sense of difficult experiences and building everyday strategies for managing emotions and relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. That work helps when relationship concerns, abandonment fears, or family of origin issues keep showing up in daily life. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. DBT skills are often helpful for anxiety, impulsivity, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura will work with the client to decide which methods to try based on symptoms, goals, and preferences. Some people start with conversational, client-centered sessions and add more structured tools or EMDR for trauma as needed.
