About Laura

Laura Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with adults in individual sessions and focuses on anxiety, ADHD, attachment trauma, relationship patterns, chronic pain and autoimmune disorders, and codependency and boundary issues.

She uses a direct and straightforward style in sessions. She gives worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to help people practice between meetings. Sessions emphasize looking under repeating patterns rather than masking symptoms. That can mean confronting hard habits and trying small behavior changes inside everyday life.

Laura blends methods that aim to change thinking and to process painful memories. She draws on Client-Centered work to center the person’s experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and actions, and EMDR when past trauma is a key issue. She also uses DBT skills for emotional regulation when strong feelings get in the way of day-to-day functioning.

Clients who do well with Laura are willing to do homework and try new strategies outside sessions. She notes that therapy can be difficult and that real change requires effort. Her practical tools target boundaries, attachment patterns, managing anxiety, and rebuilding after emotional abuse.

People can expect clear, actionable steps and a focus on measurable skills. The initial steps include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to discuss goals and plan next steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Laura often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in how people connect and react in relationships. This approach focuses on how past relationship experiences shape current responses and can help with trust, boundaries, and recurring relationship struggles.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT gives concrete tools and practice tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and shift behaviors that maintain codependent patterns. When trauma is central, she may draw on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to try first. Sessions can adjust over time as progress and needs become clearer.

If you want to know which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking. The practical benefit of online appointments is fitting therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work, avoiding travel time, and easier scheduling on days with treatment or caregiving demands. Discuss format and timing during the initial scheduling step to pick what fits your routine.
