About Laura

Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who brings three decades of experience to her clinical work. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused perspectives to help clients identify practical steps toward change while honoring each person’s priorities and strengths.

Background and approach

Her approach often includes homework between sessions to reinforce progress and translate insights into daily life. Over a career that began in 1995, Laura has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and issues related to career and life transitions.

She has experience with PTSD and suicidal ideation and has also practiced equine-assisted therapy as part of her background. Laura emphasizes a strengths-based stance and works to help clients discover and mobilize natural supports as they pursue their goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative process in which goals are set by the individual and the therapist offers guidance, tools, and encouragement. Her practice highlights practical strategies, emotional exploration when useful, and ongoing attention to what will help someone function better in everyday life.

Integrating Approaches Online for Practical Progress

Laura uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills that can reduce anxious or depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy is also central to her work, offering empathic listening and collaboration so goals come from the client’s priorities and values rather than being imposed by the therapist.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to determine which combination of techniques and perspectives best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. The emphasis is on practical tools and client-driven goals so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in skill-building exercises, receive feedback, and maintain momentum between meetings while fitting therapy into busy lives.
