About Laura

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. She also works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions.

Laura uses practical talking and skills-based work in sessions. She frames clients as the authors of their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and aim to clarify problems and try doable changes rather than rely on jargon.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential ideas. That mix is used to help with anxiety, managing strong emotions, and making values-based choices when life feels confusing.

With long experience, she brings a steady, experienced perspective to common life stressors. Laura often supports people dealing with career shifts, relationship strain, and transitions that come with early adulthood and growing responsibilities.

People who meet with her can expect clear feedback, practical strategies, and a focus on building confidence and coping skills. To begin, the typical first steps involve a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session so goals can be set and a plan agreed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can help when someone feels stuck, indecisive, or pulled between options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often useful for worry, low mood, and sleeping or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Laura will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and as life circumstances shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into study, work, and busy schedules because they reduce travel and can be scheduled around other commitments. Remote work can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins on busy days or to use skills practice between meetings.
