About Laura
Laura Walls is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and issues common in blended family situations.
She often helps people untangle patterns that affect how they relate to others. Sessions focus on clear goals, better communication, and practical steps to reduce day-to-day stress. Laura uses approaches that look at attachment, thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness skills to support emotional regulation.
People who consult her include those facing career pressure, caregiving burden, or the emotional effects of adoption, abandonment, or separation. She also works with clients managing bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and sleep disruption. Her experience includes many community and outpatient settings over two decades.
In a typical session she listens closely, asks focused questions, and helps clients try concrete strategies between meetings. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Laura frames change as step-by-step work rather than sudden fixes. She supports practical problem solving and steady skill building. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and connection. Online sessions can use this approach to help identify repeating relationship responses and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that maintain distress and tests small behavior changes between sessions to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage anxiety and mood.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and what methods feel most applicable. They adjust strategies as progress is reviewed so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday responsibilities.
