About Laura
Laura Herp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practising in Kentucky with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Laura also supports concerns such as anger, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and changes in life circumstances.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what the person is facing now and practical steps to manage it. She uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily reactions and calm strong emotions. She also draws on Internal Family Systems to look at the different parts of a person that affect decisions and relationships.
In a typical session Laura talks through recent stressors, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and works with clients to try new responses. That can include short mindfulness practices, mapping out inner parts, or planning small behavior changes to test in daily life. She balances pacing so people leave with something concrete to try between meetings.
Laura frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set goals and she helps track progress toward them. Her plain language style aims to make emotional material easier to work with, whether someone wants to manage anger, handle workplace frustration, or recover from past hurt.

How Mindfulness and IFS are used in online sessions
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and short grounding practices. In plain terms it helps people notice how anger or anxiety shows up in the body so they can choose how to respond rather than react. That can be useful for workplace frustration, heated interactions at home, or ongoing tension.Internal Family Systems looks at the different 'parts' or voices inside a person - for example a critical part or a protective part. Talking with those parts helps people understand why they get stuck in the same patterns and how to try different responses to anger, shame, or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may mix short mindfulness practices, reflective dialogue about inner parts, and practical behavior changes depending on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce commute time. Licensed professionals can adapt practices so people leave with realistic steps to try between meetings.
