About Laura
Laura Boettger is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and ADHD. She offers calm, steady support as people figure out what they want next.
Many clients come with complicated trauma histories or difficult leaving processes from high-control groups and relationships. Laura provides a nonjudgmental space to talk through those experiences and the emotions that follow. She helps people who feel disoriented after big changes find a clearer sense of direction.
Her style adapts to each person. Sessions can be more open and nondirective when that fits, or more structured when someone needs tools and practice. She draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based work, dialectical behavior strategies, narrative methods, and trauma-focused techniques to shape the work together.
Laura has clinical experience addressing dissociation and post-traumatic stress symptoms. She supports adults of any age as they navigate grief, identity shifts, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and challenges like impulsivity or isolation. Together with clients she explores practical steps and coping skills that make daily life more manageable.
People often begin by naming one small goal they want to reach. Laura works collaboratively to turn that goal into manageable steps and track progress over time.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathic reflection, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help with low self-esteem, confusion after change, and rebuilding a sense of identity.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice repeating dynamics in relationships and build safer ways of relating. This work is often useful for attachment issues, codependency, and relationship struggles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. It teaches skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can be useful for people facing overwhelming feelings or self-harm urges.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on a person's history, current goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to identify what feels most helpful and to adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Laura's clinical approaches translate well to remote conversations and structured skill practice, and online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. Many people find virtual appointments helpful for shorter check-ins, steady weekly sessions, or practicing skills between meetings.
