About Laura

Laura Edmonds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify goals and build practical skills to manage emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve relationships. With three years of professional experience, she draws on several evidence-informed methods to support people through periods of grief, career stress, intimacy concerns, and mood-related difficulties.

Her work emphasizes developing coping strategies and communication skills while also addressing issues such as body image, codependency, eating and food-related struggles, and family of origin concerns. Laura integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor interventions to each client’s situation.

She frames counseling as a space to examine how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and to practice new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Laura commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change behaviors that interfere with daily life. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's values and ambivalence to support readiness for change, which can be helpful for addictions, lifestyle adjustments, and building motivation for new habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life context, and then adapts techniques to fit what the client needs. Sessions emphasize practical skill building and clear steps to track progress together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue care during transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without requiring travel. The variety of formats allows conversations, worksheets, and skill practice to happen in ways that suit the client's daily life.
