About Laura

Laura Denham-Evans is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with ten years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, depression, life changes, and ADHD. Sessions are held in English and aimed at practical problem solving.

In sessions she keeps conversations direct and focused. She listens to what is happening now and what you want to change. She uses client-centered methods to understand your viewpoint, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, actionable goals.

Her approach emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than big promises. For anger, that can mean noticing triggers, trying new responses, and practicing short strategies between sessions. For relationship or parenting concerns she helps people clarify communication and set boundaries they can use day to day.

Laura draws on a decade of practice in California settings and adapts tools to the person in front of her. She aims to make sessions practical and relatable, not theoretical. Progress is tracked through concrete goals and regular review.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and priorities. Online sessions use this approach to let you set the topics and pace, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying what matters most to you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what worked in follow-ups.

Solution-Focused Therapy is about small, concrete steps toward clear goals. Online appointments can be used to set short-term targets and check progress week to week.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and reviewed as you go.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - allowing shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, and using quieter moments during the day. These practical benefits help people keep momentum while they practice new ways of handling anger and stress.
