About Laura
Laura Standley is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and related issues such as codependency and trauma. Laura has worked in both outpatient counseling and inpatient hospital settings.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and practicing different ways of responding. Laura aims to make discussions straightforward and direct so people can try new approaches between sessions.
Her work often involves parenting and family-related topics, including blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and fatherhood concerns. She also has experience with attachment difficulties, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and the ways substance-related or violent situations affect family life.
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the problem in front of the person. That can mean focusing on emotion regulation, rebuilding trust in relationships, or working on communication and boundary skills. She explains tools clearly and practices them together with clients.
People can expect direct feedback, practical exercises, and steps to try between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used for online care
Laura notes the use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target symptoms and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on managing intense emotions and building new ways to respond to stress; this helps when anxiety, mood swings, or impulsivity make daily life harder. Another approach concentrates on improving communication and setting boundaries, which can be useful for people who struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, or recurring family conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will team up with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on what actually changes day-to-day life.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when video is difficult, while video can support role-play and visual feedback; discuss format choices during the first appointment to match sessions to your routine and goals.
