About Laura
Laura Frelich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, addictions, and mood disorders. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem, career shifts, ADHD, and women's issues.
Her approach begins with straightforward listening. She creates time to hear what is happening and what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps the person can try between meetings.
Laura uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She blends these approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns and handle strong emotions like anger and frustration.
Typical work includes talking through stressful interactions, testing small behavior changes, and learning ways to respond differently when anger rises. She also helps with managing cravings and patterns tied to drug and alcohol use, and with repairing family tensions one conversation at a time.
Her style is direct and pragmatic. People are encouraged to name specific moments they want to change. Progress is measured in concrete shifts - fewer heated exchanges, clearer boundaries, or steadier mood between sessions.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's own goals at the center. In practice that means the counselor listens first, follows what matters most to the client, and helps the client decide next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs a trusted listener to sort out priorities and emotional responses.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them in real life, and trying small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, anger, mood shifts, and managing problematic habits like substance use.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting strategies as progress is made.
