About Laura

Laura Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults in Florida and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger.

She focuses on attachment trauma and how it shows up in adult relationships. She also helps people who are managing ADHD, chronic pain or illness, and the effects of emotional abuse. Sessions address emotional regulation, boundary problems, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her way of working is direct and practical. She uses worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to help people try new skills between sessions. Therapy involves honest conversation, targeted exercises, and step-by-step practice to change repeated patterns.

Clients who are ready to do the work get concrete tools for handling anger, reducing reactivity, and improving communication. She draws on approaches like attachment-based methods, cognitive behavior techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate for trauma work.

Laura helps people cope with life transitions such as divorce, fertility struggles, caregiving stress, and career shifts. She also supports those facing first responder issues, compassion fatigue, and complex grief. The emphasis is on practical skills and sustained behavioral change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and guided exercises to notice patterns, practice new responses, and build more manageable ways of relating to others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In remote sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing alternative thoughts, and using homework to practice new behaviors between meetings. This approach is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood shifts.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills translate well to online work through skill demonstrations, role plays, and assigned practice tasks to use in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting plans as needed. This helps ensure the strategies feel relevant and manageable.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports carrying homework and skills practice into daily life so progress continues between meetings.
