About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship and family concerns, and address trauma, grief, and parenting challenges.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered methods to listen and build a working relationship. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-focused work is used to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress.
In sessions she talks through what is happening now and what small changes might help. She will collaborate on a plan that fits daily life and responsibilities. Expect clear talk, simple tools, and action steps you can use between meetings.
Laura has worked in California settings that included family and workplace concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also addresses blended family issues, communication problems, forgiveness, women’s issues, and workplace stress.
Her style is practical and task-focused while keeping the person’s experience central. Sessions cover anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related concerns when those come up. Language of care is English and international clients are not accepted.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions let a therapist listen to your concerns and help you prioritize what to address next. This approach is useful when people need a supportive space to organize their thoughts and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that maintain problems. In online meetings a therapist can teach simple CBT skills, set short exercises to try between sessions, and review how those experiments went. This is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.
Solution-focused therapy aims at immediate, practical change. It emphasizes small, achievable steps and measurable progress. Online sessions work well for this method because they keep momentum - sessions can focus on clear goals and quick feedback about what is working.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out the best fit based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different methods. This partnership helps tailor each session to daily life demands.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the intake to choose session patterns that fit your routine.
