About Laura
Laura Tellez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She works in both English and Spanish and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression.
She helps people who are juggling work, family, and health pressures. Sessions often focus on practical steps for managing day-to-day stress and improving communication. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, and caregiver stress.
Her approach blends client-centered conversations with practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with grounding and reducing reactivity.
For people processing past hurt, she uses trauma-focused work to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track small gains. The result is a mix of listening, concrete skills, and goal planning.
Sessions are directed by what the person brings and what they want to change. Laura adjusts pacing and focus based on each person's needs, language preference, and daily responsibilities. She asks practical questions and suggests doable steps between meetings.
If someone is ready to start, the next step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions use that same approach: the therapist listens, reflects, and helps set priorities based on what matters now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions this often looks like reviewing recent situations, practicing new ways of thinking, and setting homework to try between meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily demands, and which methods feel workable. That conversation is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.
The practical benefit of online meetings is fitting therapy around work, family, and health commitments. Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or meet without rearranging a whole day. The focus is on finding a rhythm that fits everyday life while using CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to move toward the goals discussed in sessions.
