About Laura
Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 30 years of experience in the mental health field. She holds a master's degree in Agency Counseling and has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship stress, work problems, and family difficulties.
She has worked with clients facing PTSD and suicidal ideation and has experience in crisis counseling. Her practice has included people managing parenting challenges, career transitions, and addictions. She has also practiced Equine-Assisted Therapy as part of her background.
Laura uses client-centered and solution-focused methods. She asks clients to set the goals and then helps them find practical steps to meet those goals. She often assigns brief homework between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.
Her work leans on strengths people already have. She helps clients notice personal resources and supports they can draw on. That includes finding or strengthening social supports that make everyday life more manageable.
Laura often combines elements of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic thinking when useful. She talks through patterns, thoughts, and feelings with clients and helps them test new ways of responding. Her approach is straightforward and focused on tools that can be used in daily life.
People in early adulthood who are facing career choices, relationship changes, or the pressures of starting independent life may find her experience relevant. She works in English from Michigan and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. In practice this means the therapist encourages the client to set priorities and the sessions center on those goals. Solution-focused therapy looks at small, useful steps that move a person forward quickly, which can be good for urgent problems like job stress or relationship conflicts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, examines unhelpful thoughts and patterns and tests new behaviors in daily life. That approach is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns because it links what a person thinks to what they do and helps change both.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which approach fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let people meet from wherever they are living. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to pick a format that fits your day-to-day life and goals.
