Laura Richardson, LMHC

Laura Richardson is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Her practice also includes issues such as parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem challenges.

She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals and preferences at the center of care. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a pace they set. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her work, bringing practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

In sessions she helps people develop calming strategies for anger, manage family conflicts, and cope with the impact of another person’s drinking or mood swings. She also supports those navigating abandonment, attachment issues, blended family strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiving stress.

Laura draws on two decades of experience to offer straightforward, skills-based options alongside open listening. She helps clients name patterns such as people-pleasing, boundary difficulty, or codependent behaviors and then practices setting limits and clearer communication.

Her approach emphasizes small, concrete steps people can use between sessions. Clients leave with specific strategies for stress management, improved communication, and better daily routines that fit their life and responsibilities.
