Getting to know Laura Smith-Brese
Hello, I'm Laura, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree. For the past 15 years, I've dedicated my career to providing counseling, much of it within community mental health settings. My journey has allowed me to help individuals navigate a wide range of concerns and symptoms, and I'm passionate about supporting my clients through their unique challenges and life transitions.
In our sessions, I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are designed to empower you, the client, as the expert of your own life. My role is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can process your experiences, set meaningful goals, and work towards healing and growth. I firmly believe that while change begins in our sessions, it continues and flourishes outside of them.
I specialize in working with a diverse range of issues, including addiction, ADHD, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anxiety, children's mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, gender identity, intimate and romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, military and veteran support, PTSD, stress, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors, and trauma. Additionally, I offer SonderMind Video Telehealth services to provide flexible and accessible care.
Our time together is an opportunity for you to explore and understand your experiences, develop coping strategies, and achieve your personal goals. I am here to support you every step of the way, offering guidance and encouragement as you navigate your path to well-being.
If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create the positive changes you're seeking.
