About Laura

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with person-centered principles to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes clients' strengths and capacity to shape their own life stories while providing practical tools to address current challenges.

She supports those navigating relationship and intimacy issues, grief and trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions, and a wide range of additional concerns including attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care matters, chronic illness, and sexuality-related topics such as BDSM and kink. Working with life changes and caregiving stress is also part of her focus.

Laura aims to partner with clients to build motivation, improve coping skills, and increase daily functioning through collaborative, goal-oriented work. Sessions explore both practical strategies and deeper personal meaning, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential perspectives, and client-centered care when appropriate.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-guided action, helping people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship to help clients explore their experiences and build self-direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This means assessing how skills-based methods, acceptance work, or exploratory conversations might be combined and adjusted over time in a shared plan.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging expand flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to continue work during life transitions or from different locations. These options allow clients and licensed professionals to focus on practical skill-building, emotional processing, and problem-solving in a way that fits daily routines and accessibility needs.
