About Laura
Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She combines clinical work with life experience to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Laura draws on three years of practice to support people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and big life transitions.
She frames sessions around practical changes people can make day to day. Laura often helps clients set realistic goals, build new coping routines, and address patterns that get in the way of progress. She also brings attention to relationship and parenting challenges that affect daily life and work.
Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings and experience leading both individual and group conversations. This hands-on work informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress. Laura also has a Masters of Divinity that shapes how she discusses meaning, purpose, and motivation with clients when those topics matter.
Laura uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered care. In practice she blends these to fit each person's concerns rather than following a single method. She helps people navigate career questions alongside other life stresses when that is part of what they bring.
People who meet with Laura can expect a straightforward, relational style that aims for steady steps forward. She encourages realistic goals, honest talk about setbacks, and ongoing adjustments to keep work relevant to the client’s life.

How these approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns and routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape how people relate now and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients can expect regular check-ins about what is working and changes tailored to their needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session format options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people join from different locations when international work is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused ideas to an online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
