About Laura
Laura Hattrup is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (KS LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MO LCSW) with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and anger. She also helps those dealing with grief, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, career changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and money-related stress.
Laura uses down-to-earth conversation and practical tools to help people reduce overwhelm. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, building coping skills, and making small changes that fit daily life. She listens for what is already working and helps people try different strategies until something clicks.
In practice she draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test alternatives. Mindfulness methods support managing intense feelings and staying present. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set clear, realistic goals and take steps toward them.
Her background includes work with a range of age groups and family situations across school, clinical, and community settings. That experience informs a practical approach to problems like grief, life transitions, and job or money stress. Laura emphasizes building skills people can use between sessions.
She speaks English and practices in Kansas. Session cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that may be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s priorities and listens for what matters most. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard while practical changes are discussed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to clear skill practice.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. It can help with stress, anger, and grief by building steadier ways to respond.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches or changing focus as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, avoiding travel time, or using audio when video feels like too much. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so sessions match everyday schedules and responsibilities.
