About Laura

Laura Gannon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical, compassionate support that encourages clients to explore their thoughts and feelings while building skills to face life’s challenges. Her background includes work with caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, and mood-related concerns.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can safely consider changes and set achievable goals. Laura draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She also integrates trauma-focused ideas when relevant to address deeper emotional wounds. Clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes empowerment, clearer decision making, and practical steps toward a more satisfying life.

Practical approaches for online change and growth

Laura integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online sessions to address patterns of thinking and to build motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while motivational interviewing helps clients explore ambivalence and connect with personal reasons for change. She also draws on client-centered principles to maintain a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that prioritizes the client’s perspective and goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains practical and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care around work and family commitments or from different locations within Florida. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule while working directly with a licensed professional.
