About Laura
Laura Hank is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and ADHD. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes.
Her sessions use clear, problem-solving techniques alongside listening and reflection. She draws on client-centered methods to understand each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness strategies help people learn to settle their attention and reduce reactivity.
Laura has worked in schools, telehealth, and community outpatient settings. That range informs how she supports school-related stress, mood shifts, and young adult transitions. She aims to translate clinical ideas into everyday steps people can try between meetings.
When working on parenting or family strain she focuses on skills you can use right away, such as communication and behavior planning. For body image or social anxiety she uses short exercises and thought records to test unhelpful beliefs. For grief and trauma the approach is paced and grounded in practical coping tools.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set small goals, track what changes, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin a match, complete the site's questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns and priorities back so sessions follow the client's agenda and real-life goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include worksheets, thought records, and short behavioral experiments you try between meetings to test what changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Many people find remote work useful for fitting sessions into a busy day, keeping check-ins shorter when needed, and using tools like written worksheets between meetings. Ask about format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
