Getting to know Laura Smigielski

Laura is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate chronic pain, emotional stress, and life transitions. Her background is uniquely shaped by both mental health counseling and 18 years leading nursing teams across skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care settings, where pain management and quality of life were always central to her work. Laura has supported clients living with chronic pain related to joint and back conditions, mobility limitations, cancer, migraines, overwhelming fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other health challenges. She believes no one should have to face ongoing physical or emotional pain alone. Laura offers a compassionate, practical approach focused on helping clients build coping strategies, remove barriers to healing, and create a life with greater comfort, resilience, and hope.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Stance Health is a virtual therapy practice specializing in care for people living with pain and the emotional challenges that often come with it, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep disruption, and life changes. Our therapists are trained to work with pain of many types and conditions, and care is personalized to your needs, goals, and lived experience. Sessions are online, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel understood, supported, and better equipped with practical tools that can improve daily life. Many patients also continue working with their medical providers while in therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After you request an appointment, you'll receive an invitation from Stance Health to complete a few intake questions and add your insurance and payment information to confirm your visit. In your first session, you and your therapist will talk about what you're experiencing, how pain is affecting your life, and what goals matter most to you. Together, you'll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and schedule follow-up appointments as appropriate. You'll also be able to message your care team through the Stance Health portal between visits.
