About Laura
Laura Walls is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. Laura lists young adult issues among her focuses and often supports people facing the pressures of early adulthood.
Her approach centers on practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions use client-centered talk, and she applies techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work to address patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person's goals.
Laura has worked across a range of counseling settings and with varied life stages. That background informs how she helps people sort priorities, manage symptoms, and make changes that feel doable. She often helps clients strengthen communication, handle workplace stress, and repair or understand relationship patterns.
In sessions she concentrates on clear steps and skills people can use between meetings. That can include behavior experiments, communication practices, and simple mindfulness exercises. The emphasis is on learning tools that reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning.
People meet Laura to work on specific problems like sleep disruption, anger, grief, or career decisions, and also on longer-term patterns such as attachment issues or recurring self-esteem struggles. Her work is practical and steady, aimed at helping clients navigate the demands of early adulthood and beyond.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can help identify attachment habits and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In video or phone sessions a therapist and client can use behavior experiments, thought records, and goal-setting to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, situations, and preferences. That might mean prioritizing short CBT exercises at first or spending more time on attachment patterns and communication skills depending on what the client needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice communication and grounding skills in settings that feel like their everyday life, which can support progress between sessions.
