About Laura
Laura Wafer is a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (LIMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of professional experience. She is licensed in Kentucky and Ohio and works with common concerns young adults face, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes could help. She talks through relationship patterns, how attachment and abandonment concerns show up, and ways to reduce day-to-day anxiety.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a single method. That means using methods that match a person’s needs, whether the issue is chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, codependency, or challenges tied to autism and attachment. Laura pays attention to how symptoms interact, such as co-morbidity or mood regulation concerns like disruptive mood dysregulation.
She also supports people dealing with life-stage pressures - leaving home, starting work, and managing new responsibilities. Conversations may cover communication skills, commitment worries, and practical coping strategies for overwhelming feelings.
Clients can expect straightforward planning and regular review of progress. Language of sessions is English and practice is based in Kentucky. For international work she does not currently take clients outside the United States. The site’s booking flow asks a few questions, then helps schedule an initial appointment.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach is behavioral work that focuses on changing patterns in daily routines and reactions; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing chronic illness. Another useful approach addresses relationship and attachment patterns by mapping how people relate and then practicing different communication choices to reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress as they go to adjust the plan when needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work with the same licensed professionals even when life circumstances change.
