About Laura
Laura Wafer is a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (LIMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of professional experience. She is licensed in Ohio as an LIMFT and in Kentucky as an LMFT. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression, and lists codependency among her additional focus areas.
Laura uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing strain. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in another person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings, alongside time to talk through painful experiences.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and regular check-ins. She adapts sessions to what each person needs in the moment. That might mean practicing ways to set boundaries, naming patterns from the past, or planning how to handle a difficult conversation.
Laura has worked for a decade with adults facing long-term stressors and life transitions. She helps people who are managing caregiving, chronic illness, attachment concerns, aging issues, or the effects of trauma. She also supports people who struggle with abandonment fears, communication problems, control issues, or commitment worries.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Kentucky. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client is asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Approaches that guide online work
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing day-to-day behavior. One common approach she uses looks at how attachment and relationship habits develop, then helps people notice and adjust those habits in current relationships. This work helps when fears about abandonment, overdependence, or repeated communication problems are present.Another approach centers on skill-building for stress and anxiety. Sessions can include learning concrete coping tools such as breathing and grounding strategies, planning small behavioral changes, and practicing boundary language. Those methods aim to reduce overwhelm and make difficult interactions easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The therapist and client evaluate progress through regular check-ins and change direction when needed.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins between longer sessions. Therapists who offer remote sessions can also use different tools when a quieter setting or less screen time is needed, and they can adapt exercises to suit someone's daily routine.
