About Laura

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. Clients who are navigating grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, or challenges related to codependency may also seek her help.

Laura describes people as the narrators of their own stories and focuses on practical steps people can take to change how they live. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying values, and building small skills that make daily life more manageable. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client wants to change.

Her clinical toolbox includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential ideas when relevant. These methods are used to handle emotional regulation, decision making, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

Laura has long experience helping people cope with life transitions, parenting stress, career pressures, chronic health issues, and identity concerns including LGBT topics. She also works with people dealing with adoption or foster care histories, attachment difficulties, and boundaries around alternative sexual cultures like BDSM and kink.

People who reach out typically want clear conversation and practical steps rather than abstract theory. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled so goals can be set and an approach selected.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and learning small, practical actions that move them toward those values. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance, and patterns of putting others first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for worry, low mood, and problems with motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, using reflective listening and collaborative planning to help people feel understood and make changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is evaluated. That collaborative way makes it easier to decide which techniques to use and when to change direction.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people value online sessions because they can fit therapy around work, caregiving, and medical appointments. Some formats can be shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or avoid screens when bandwidth is low. Licensed professionals can discuss practical scheduling and session length so therapy fits into day-to-day life.
