Getting to know Laura Cowell
The provider is a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern.
Ms. Laura Cowell is a dedicated clinical therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals, families, and adolescents navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and resilience. With a Master of Social Work from Troy University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Northwestern State University, Laura brings both academic excellence and lived experience to her work with clients.
As a military spouse of over 15 years, Laura understands firsthand the unique pressures faced by military families—frequent relocations, deployments, transitions, and reintegration challenges. Her personal insight and professional training allow her to create a safe, supportive space for those seeking to be heard, understood, and empowered.
Laura has worked in diverse settings, including schools, community-based programs, and private practice. Her clinical experience includes providing therapy to children with emotional impairments, supporting individuals and families through trauma, and working with military-connected clients. She integrates a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
* Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
* Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
* Motivational Interviewing
* SPARCS (Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress)
Laura specializes in treating anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and stress related to military service. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, focusing on building trust and developing tools for long-term wellness.
Laura is currently accepting new clients in Florida through virtual appointments. Whether you're a parent concerned about your teen, a service member managing life stressors, or an individual looking for support, Laura is here to help.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Your appointment will be cancelled or rescheduled if you do not complete your intake forms through Zocdoc prior to your appointment.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that I approach each client with compassion, respect, and a genuine desire to help you feel heard and supported. From the moment we begin working together, my focus is on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self—free from expectations or pressure.
As a therapist and a military spouse of over 15 years, I bring not only professional experience but personal understanding of how life transitions, chronic stress, and emotional challenges can affect our well-being. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, parenting stress, or the pressures of military life, I’m here to walk alongside you—helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and working with you to build a path toward healing and stability.
I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. I also integrate structured interventions like SPARCS (Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress), especially helpful for teens and young adults. These approaches allow us to develop practical tools you can use in everyday life, while also exploring the deeper emotional patterns that may be holding you back.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy. Many of my clients come to me unsure of where to begin, and that’s completely okay. I will meet you where you are, honor your story, and help guide you at your own pace. Our work will be collaborative, focused on your goals, and grounded in empathy. If you're ready to take that first step, I’m ready to support you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs. During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know one another. I’ll ask questions to better understand your history, current challenges, goals, and what brought you to therapy. This initial session is all about building a foundation of trust and creating a safe, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable opening up.
From there, we’ll work together to identify your goals and create a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your needs, I may draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and SPARCS. I work with both adolescents and adults, and I especially enjoy supporting individuals who are managing anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, or the complex challenges of military life.
A typical session might involve discussing recent experiences, exploring emotions or thought patterns, and practicing new coping skills or communication techniques. I often assign optional reflection exercises or strategies to try between sessions, helping you apply what you’re learning in real life.
I believe therapy should be empowering and flexible. You set the pace, and I’ll walk beside you—sometimes guiding, sometimes listening, always supporting. Whether you're coming in with a clear goal or just trying to make sense of things, I’m here to help you feel more balanced, understood, and equipped to handle life’s challenges.
