About Laura

Laura Hunter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns around self-esteem and ADHD. Her work also addresses communication problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.

She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations often start with what is most pressing that week. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and test what works in daily life. Sessions aim to make goals clearer and steps toward them more manageable.

Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on relationships and anxiety. She helps people practice clearer ways to communicate, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. When intimacy issues come up, she focuses on what people can do differently in their interactions and choices.

Her approach suits people who want straightforward help with everyday pressures. She pays attention to how work, family, money, and health demands affect mood and relationships. Progress is paced to the client’s priorities and practical obligations.

Clients begin by identifying one or two problems to focus on, then work toward concrete skills and changes. Over time the emphasis often shifts from symptom reduction to maintaining better habits and relationships. Laura describes the work as collaborative and solution-oriented.

BHow sessions work

Approaches for anxiety and relationship work online

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on anxiety and relationships. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes; this helps people reduce worry and try new ways of handling stressful situations. Another approach centers on practical communication skills - teaching clearer requests, active listening, and boundary setting to improve interactions and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, daily responsibilities, and preferences. She reviews what’s working and adjusts the plan together as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit psychotherapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people attend from a quieter setting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it. Talk with the therapist about which options best fit your routine and goals.
