About Laura
Laura Denham-Evans is a California LCSW with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, depression, and coping with life changes, including ADHD and blended family issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward. Conversations focus on the problem at hand and on finding small, concrete steps that make day-to-day life easier. Laura uses client-centered conversations alongside cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice patterns and test different ways of responding.
Her approach often includes short-term solution-focused work aimed at setting simple goals. That can mean breaking a worry into one or two actions, testing them, and then adjusting what comes next. She also draws on CBT techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to replace them with alternatives that reduce distress.
People who come for help with blended household challenges receive practical guidance about roles, routines, and communication. Laura talks through ways to manage loyalty conflicts, step-parenting stress, and co-parenting with an ex so daily life runs more smoothly.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented. Expect clear steps, gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking, and a focus on what will work in your life. The intake asks about goals so the first sessions can be focused and useful.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, clarifies concerns, and helps define goals you want to work toward. It is useful for emotional support around family stress and relationship dilemmas.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. Sessions using CBT include behavioral experiments and practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets short-term goals and immediate changes. Work is organized around small, achievable steps so progress can be checked quickly. This approach can be helpful when you want concrete improvements in routines, communication, or household roles.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which approach fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Ask about the session lengths and arrangements that best fit your routine.
