About Laura
Laura Bollin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Washington Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
She focuses on practical help. That can mean talking through grief and end-of-life concerns, addressing workplace stress, or helping someone recover from codependent patterns. She uses clear strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify patterns and try new ways of coping.
Her background includes counseling, hospice, and hospital settings. That experience shaped how she supports people during illness, bereavement, and hospice-related decision points. She also draws on personal values and faith when clients say those matters are important to them.
In a session she listens and offers concrete tools. Those might include skill-based exercises from CBT, goal-focused conversations using Motivational Interviewing, and practical modeling of communication or coping techniques. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase options for daily life.
Outside clinical work she is a spouse, Christian, ally, outdoors person, animal lover, and reader. Her approach is straightforward and practice-oriented, geared toward people who want clear steps to handle real life pressures and relational challenges.
If a parent or adult is looking for help with grief, career shifts, relationship difficulties, or the burn of compassion fatigue, this background indicates the kinds of issues she commonly addresses. Confirm session formats before booking to make sure they fit your needs.
BHow sessions work
How cognitive and motivational approaches work online
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT gives clear exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's readiness to change and uses focused conversation to strengthen motivation for goals like lifestyle changes or relationship shifts.Figuring out which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and day-to-day concerns, then suggest techniques to try. Changes are tested over follow-up sessions and adjusted based on what works for the client.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when that suits a schedule. They can also let someone use fewer digital resources when needed, for example by choosing audio-only contact rather than video. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets and motivational conversations to remote sessions so practical skills translate into everyday life.
