About Laura

Laura Boettger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and codependency. She supports people moving through life transitions and those coping with intense experiences related to high-control groups and relationships.

She uses several approaches to meet different needs, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Narrative Therapy. Sessions can range from more open, non-directive conversations to structured skills work, depending on what someone needs that week.

Her background includes focused work with people processing post-traumatic stress and complex trauma symptoms, including dissociation. EMDR is among the methods she uses when processing traumatic memories, and DBT skills are used for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

In practice she pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and coping. That looks like talking through attachment patterns, family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, and patterns of people-pleasing or boundary difficulty. She also supports practical goals such as improving communication, managing ADHD-related challenges, and rebuilding a sense of self after major change.

Laura works in Florida and offers services in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The counseling model aims to help people make clearer choices and feel more steady as they move forward.

How sessions work

Working online with therapeutic approaches

Laura uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and which patterns keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work and focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. That might mean focusing on skills for a while, then shifting to processing traumatic memories, or combining approaches across sessions to match current needs.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time for appointments. Working this way still involves scheduled conversations and skill practice, and the therapist helps plan how to use sessions so they fit into everyday life.
