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.
