About Laura
Laura Herp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Kentucky with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, career questions, ADHD, eating issues, bipolar symptoms, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps. She adapts conversations and plans to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Laura uses mindfulness-based methods to help people notice thoughts and physical reactions without getting swept up in them. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people map different parts of themselves and reduce internal conflict. These approaches are applied to everyday problems like work pressure, relationship friction, and recovery from past hurt.
In sessions she listens for what is most disruptive in daily life and prioritizes changes that can be tried between appointments. That may mean short behavioral practices, new ways to respond in tense moments, or an experiment to test out a different habit.
People who contact her can expect a clear explanation of proposed steps and regular check-ins on progress. The emphasis is on usable strategies that fit work, family, and other real-world demands.
BHow sessions work
Mindfulness and Parts Work delivered remotely
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in the moment. It teaches short practices to reduce reactivity and calm racing thoughts, which can help with anxiety, stress, and cravings.Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts that make up a person’s inner experience. It helps identify protective roles and wounded parts, which can ease internal conflict and make trauma responses easier to manage.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and what feels practical in day-to-day life. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to try practices in the settings where problems actually occur, which can help translate session work into real-life changes.
