BHow sessions work
How CBT and Mindfulness inform online sessions
Laurel uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy as core tools. CBT focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and workplace stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.Mindfulness therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and breathing. It can reduce reactivity during panic, help with rumination in depression, and support coping during grief or stressful life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurel will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts methods based on what is working and what the client prefers.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking.

They also let people practice skills in their usual environments and bring real-life situations into session for troubleshooting.
