Getting to know Laura Carson

Starting therapy can feel like a big step and I’m here to help facilitate that the process will be the most meaningful for you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating stressful times in their lives. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My approach I use a variety of therapeutic intervention tools to assist you in reaching your goals. Some of these approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps you explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while teaching practical coping skills. Another is Solution-Focused Brief therapy, which is a technique designed to move towards desired change in a shorter time frame. I frequently use experimental, hands-on activities centered around a client’s interests and needs. For children, we will be doing play-based therapy. Some adults really enjoy doing art and different forms of mindfulness. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus I work with clients ages 5 through adulthood. I see individuals, couples, and families and work from a systems therapy approach. Systems theory lends the understanding that individuals thrive best in certain environments based on a variety of factors, including both internal and external. My communication style Clients and colleagues have told me that I am kind, compassionate, and a great listener who isn't afraid to dig for the root of the issue. I enjoy adding some humor to our sessions, and I love being a cheerleader or advocate for my clients. I prefer transparent and clear communication and try to respond promptly to my clients' needs.
