About Laura
Laura Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, anger, career challenges, life changes, ADHD, and coaching with a focus on cultivating self-love.
She keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. Laura talks through patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. She helps people set clear, achievable steps to change how they feel and act, and to repair strained relationships.
Her approach blends several methods to match what the client needs. Laura uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Client-centered listening guides the pacing and focus of sessions.
She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation and from Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. These methods are used in straightforward ways that people can practice between sessions.
Sessions aim to address current problems and the habits that keep them going. Laura emphasizes small, concrete steps - short experiments, skill practice, and reflective conversations. She frames self-care and working on mental health as part of everyday life, not an abstract ideal.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that fit those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where motivation and direction feel unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It is practical for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and repetitive thinking patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on careful listening and adjusting the pace to the person in front of her. This style supports people who need time to reflect and to set goals at a manageable speed.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday demands. That means adjusting tools and homework to what actually fits into a client's life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist can suggest practical ways to use tools between meetings so work continues outside session time.
