About Laura
Laura Arnold is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with adults who bring stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addictions, trauma, anger, self-esteem concerns, and career or life-change challenges. Sessions are conversational and interactive.
Her style is down-to-earth and client-centered. She listens for what matters most and helps people talk through feelings and behavior. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels difficult.
Laura has worked across settings including private practice, substance-abuse treatment, partial hospitalization, outpatient care, and correctional facilities. That range informs practical strategies for coping with everyday situations. She draws on clinical approaches to match tools to specific challenges.
In sessions she focuses on building a working relationship first. That means clear goals, straightforward feedback, and collaborative planning. People often use this time to practice communication, reduce reactivity, and manage cravings or mood swings.
For those concerned about anger, she helps identify triggers and develop alternative responses. Work may include thought restructuring, emotion-regulation skills, and steps to repair relationship harm. The aim is better control over moments of frustration rather than quick fixes.
Her approach is pragmatic and focused on what people can do between sessions. She supports clients as they try new skills, notice progress, and adjust plans when needed.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Laura uses client-centered therapy to start sessions by listening and clarifying what matters to the client. This approach focuses on understanding each person's perspective and setting goals that feel useful and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns that feed anger and low mood. CBT involves practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist helps clients try different tools and then adjusts based on what works for the client's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist plan steps together and track what changes are happening over time. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before scheduling. Many people choose online work to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, or pick a check-in that fits a work break. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled and what will best fit your routine.Areas of expertise
