About Laura
Laura Acero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and has 20 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and supports parents managing the demands of family life and changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Over two decades, she has worked alongside people dealing with life transitions and loss. She focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and day-to-day responsibilities. She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to address immediate problems and ongoing patterns.
Her practice includes attention to blended family issues, communication and commitment problems, and the strain caregivers often carry. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, midlife reassessment, money and financial stress, and struggles with body image or isolation.
Laura uses a mix of therapy approaches to fit the issue at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy guide the way she listens and responds in sessions.
Taking the first step can feel hard. She asks questions, listens closely, and works with each person to set clear goals and manageable steps. To begin, follow the site prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Laura’s approaches translate to online work
Laura uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what the person brings to the session, helping people talk through feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on finding the specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful, adjusts techniques, and combines skills training with reflective conversation as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow short check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework so they work in a person's everyday setting and schedule rather than relying on in-clinic routines.
