Getting to know Laura Swope
My name is Laura Swope, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the East Bay, California, working with clients statewide through telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. I work with clients of all ages and specialize in stress, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I approach my work using mindfulness theory, parts-work (integration), trauma-informed insight, and relational therapy to help my clients gain clarity, create balance, heal, grow, and give rise to a more joyful life.
My approach
I work in a collaborative and flexible manner, meeting my clients where they are. I strive to create a genuine and attuned therapeutic relationship through which I reflect back to my clients their inner wisdom, point out important connections throughout their story, assist them in establishing new habits and skills, and promote growth and healing. I draw from various modalities and theories to guide sessions, including motivational interviewing, family systems, and relational therapy. Additionally, I have extensive experience as a parenting trainer and coach. My knowledge of developmental stages, childhood attachment needs, and the effects of trauma enhances my work as a therapist with anyone who’s ever experienced childhood!
My focus
I work with everyone from adolescents to older adults who are looking to break cycles, identify, accept, and integrate lost or suppressed parts of themselves, wipe away some cobwebs, illuminate truths, strengthen confidence, tap into hope and joy, and prioritize more effectively.
My communication style
I strive to create a safe and open environment so that my clients feel free to share personal information and be vulnerable. I engage with sincerity, curiosity, and offer pointed reflections to encourage growth. Important to note: I believe that a little humor and lightheartedness go a long way...
