Laura Roland

Laura Roland, LPC, LMHC offers straightforward, practical counseling aimed at getting to the root of recurring problems. She works with adults in individual sessions and focuses on real-life concerns like anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and direct, and she uses hands-on tools to help people move forward.

With 22 years of experience, Roland draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones. She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach better emotional regulation. EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing trauma when that is relevant.

Sessions often include worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges so work continues between meetings. She aims to be an active partner in change and supports people who are ready to practice new skills. The focus can include grief, chronic pain and illness, codependency, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related concerns among other areas.

People who choose her can expect clear guidance and practical tasks as part of therapy. She helps clients unpack family of origin issues, life transitions, and complicated losses in concrete ways. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the intake steps to begin matching and scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape present behavior. It helps identify ways past bonds affect current relationships and supports building new interaction patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and priorities, giving space for people to set the pace and topics for sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to find practical shifts that reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time in collaboration with the client. That shared planning helps shape which techniques are emphasized and how sessions proceed.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography specifies individual sessions for adults only and does not list other formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow use of worksheets and assignments shared between meetings, and make it simpler to maintain momentum with weekly challenges and homework.
