About Laura
Laura Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 19 years of experience in social services. She focuses on addictions, relationship concerns, family issues, parenting pressures, and self-esteem. She works with adults who are managing substance-related problems and related mental health struggles.
Over nearly two decades she has worked directly with people facing substance issues and trauma. She has also led family and couples sessions during her career. Much of her time has been spent supervising and training other therapists, which means she brings practical experience from both clinical work and oversight roles.
In sessions she talks through current problems and helps people set concrete goals. Conversations tend to focus on everyday challenges like managing cravings, improving communication, or handling parenting stress. She uses approaches grounded in evidence and aims to keep discussions straightforward and action-focused.
Her background includes long-term work in social services settings where coordinating care and mentoring staff were regular duties. That experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress. If someone needs help sorting priorities or planning next steps after a difficult week, she works with them to create manageable actions.

This involves making clear plans for high-risk situations and practicing specific skills to manage urges.Another approach used in her work targets interaction patterns that contribute to relationship and family strain. It emphasizes communication skills, problem-solving steps, and small behavior changes that can reduce conflict and improve cooperation at home.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review a person’s goals, daily routines, and challenges to recommend techniques that make sense for them. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time based on what works and what doesn’t.
