Laura Boettger

Laura Boettger is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate major life transitions and recover from trauma. She works with adults who feel lost after big changes or after involvement in high-control groups and relationships. Her style ranges from gentle, non-directive conversation to more structured work, depending on what a person needs most.

With 10 years of experience, Laura focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and challenges tied to relationships and self-worth. She offers space to talk through difficult feelings like shame, abandonment, and isolation, and she supports people as they rebuild a sense of identity and purpose.

Laura uses approaches that include attachment-based and client-centered therapy, narrative work, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. She adapts these methods to each person, aiming for practical steps and clearer choices rather than jargon. Her EMDR experience informs how she approaches trauma-related symptoms.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and skill-building. Laura helps sort priorities, manage intense emotions, and develop strategies for day-to-day coping. She also helps people explore family of origin patterns and communication problems that affect current relationships.

Her practice supports adults across the lifespan who are facing transitions, trauma recovery, or struggles with focus and impulse control like ADHD. People who want a thoughtful, steady guide through change will find a pragmatic and compassionate approach.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, boundaries, and closeness in relationships and can reduce anxiety around connection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering reflection and support to help someone find their own solutions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method aimed at processing distressing memories and reducing the intensity of trauma reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Laura collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their life, goals, and comfort level. That conversation is ongoing, and techniques can shift as needs change.

Confirm the session formats before you book because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, keeping sessions during lunch breaks, or avoiding travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions, and skills-focused work or narrative discussions can be effective without in-person meetings. A therapist will help tailor the plan to what works in your daily life and schedule.
