About Laura
Laura Henckler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She also supports clients with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body-image issues, ADHD, and career or parenting stress.
Laura focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily routines and problem-solving. Sessions often include clear strategies from evidence-based methods and coaching-style conversation to increase motivation and follow-through.
When couples come in, she works on communication, trust repair, and rebuilding emotional connection. She aims for straightforward exercises couples can use at home, not abstract theory. Laura also addresses compassion fatigue and financial stress as part of overall coping and functioning.
Her style is direct and task-oriented while still making room for feelings. She encourages doable changes and tracks progress over time. Clients leave with concrete practices they can try between appointments.
Laura’s work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods shape how she helps people set goals, notice patterns, and build new habits. To start, she asks about immediate concerns and practical goals, then outlines the steps she recommends.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It provides concrete exercises and homework people can practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people use therapy more consistently while they apply skills to everyday situations.
