Getting to know Laura Clayton
Life can often feel overwhelming, and navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief can feel isolating. My mission is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can find understanding, clarity, and the tools to build a more fulfilling life.
With a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, I bring a personalized, evidence-based approach to my work. I collaborate with clients to explore their unique experiences, uncover their strengths, and empower them to move forward with confidence. Whether you're seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, support in healing past wounds, or strategies to cope with life's stressors, I am here to help.
You don't have to face this alone. Together, we'll work toward creating the balance and resilience you deserve. Take the first step toward a healthier, happier you-I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you choose to work with me, you’ll find a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that we work together to achieve your goals.
I use evidence-based techniques, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed practices. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other challenges, my focus is on empowering you to build resilience, find clarity, and navigate life with greater ease.
In our sessions, you can expect a balance of structured guidance and open exploration, allowing us to uncover what’s most important to you. I believe in creating a safe environment where you can express yourself freely, gain new insights, and develop practical strategies to create lasting change.
Therapy is a journey, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. My goal is to help you feel confident, equipped, and supported as you take the steps toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When we begin working together, our first session will focus on getting to know you, your concerns, and your goals for therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your current challenges, personal history, and what you hope to achieve. This helps me create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs.
In a typical session, you can expect a supportive and structured environment where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Depending on your goals, we may focus on developing coping strategies, processing difficult emotions, or uncovering patterns that influence your behavior and relationships. I integrate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed practices, and mindfulness techniques to provide practical tools and deeper insights.
Our work is collaborative, meaning I’ll guide and support you while encouraging your active participation in the process. We’ll regularly review your progress to ensure you’re moving toward the outcomes you desire, adjusting our approach as needed.
My aim is to create a safe and empowering space where you feel comfortable to explore, grow, and build the skills needed to overcome challenges and achieve lasting well-being.
