About Laura
Laura Gannon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and address low self-esteem and depression. Her work also covers family conflict and motivation concerns.
She uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and on building small, usable skills for daily life. Laura draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered conversation to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Sessions often include goal-setting and short-term plans that fit into a busy week. Motivational interviewing is used when people are unsure about change, and solution-focused work helps break problems into manageable pieces. Trauma-focused methods are available when past experiences are a barrier to moving forward.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that aims to make progress in concrete ways. Laura pays attention to how health, caregiving, and life stage affect mood and functioning. She also addresses issues tied to chronic illness, aging, and caregiver stress.
Her background includes 14 years helping people with mood disorders, substance issues, and relationship strain. People ready to try practical steps and clear goals will find an approach that emphasizes daily routines and achievable change.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Laura frequently uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thought patterns and behavior, and helps people try small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Motivational interviewing is another approach she uses when someone feels unsure about change. It involves short conversations to explore ambivalence and build motivation without pressure. Together, these approaches aim to set clear goals and practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice is revisited as work progresses.
The practical aim of online sessions is to make therapy fit day-to-day schedules. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit a therapy check-in into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter focused sessions when needed.
