About Laura
Laura Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, FL LCSW, with three years of clinical practice. She combines social work training and a Masters of Divinity background to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, and trauma-related concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She talks with people about what currently feels overwhelming and what small changes would make daily life easier. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and mindfulness-based tools to reduce stuck patterns.
Her work also pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics. That means looking at how early or current relationships shape repeating behaviors, like people-pleasing or difficulty setting limits. She helps people notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating to others.
Laura also addresses practical issues such as sleep, eating concerns, and managing cravings or substance use. She supports people who are dealing with adoption, foster care histories, fertility challenges, or losses that leave a person feeling empty or without direction. She includes coaching-style goal setting when clients want concrete steps forward.
Sessions tend to be conversational and action-oriented. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflective questions, and exercises to try between meetings. Laura frames change as something people work toward in manageable steps, focusing on what can be done now to reduce harm and restore more control over everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that match those values. ACT can help when people feel stuck, unclear about priorities, or caught up in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relational patterns affect how people respond to closeness, rejection, and conflict. This approach can be useful for people who get lost in relationships or struggle to set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people work on clarity and skills from where they are living. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work for remote sessions so clients practice tools between meetings and bring real situations back to talk about.
