About Laura
Laura Walls is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and major life changes.
She has worked across diverse counseling settings and supports adults through transitions and role changes. Her work often focuses on self-esteem, attachment patterns, social anxiety, workplace stress, and intimacy-related concerns.
Laura uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She helps people understand what triggers strong reactions and offers straightforward tools to respond differently. Conversations emphasize clearer communication, emotion regulation, and problem-solving for day-to-day situations.
Sessions balance reflection with active skill practice. People may bring relationship tensions, grief, trauma histories, or burnout from caregiving and work. The therapist guides them through small, manageable steps to reduce reactivity and increase coping options.
Her approach includes mindfulness skills, cognitive techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and attention to attachment dynamics that shape relationships. She also uses motivational strategies to support change and practical problem-focused work for immediate concerns.
Clients who want to address anger, improve communication, or recover from loss will find a straightforward, experience-based approach. Laura helps people build clearer habits for managing emotions and moving forward from difficult situations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people recognize repeating patterns and improve how they connect with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice emotions without immediately acting on them. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist review what works and focus on practical techniques that can be used between sessions. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these adaptations to support consistent progress while addressing anger, stress, relationship issues, and everyday coping.Areas of expertise
