About Laura
Laura Moore is a licensed counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and career matters. Laura speaks English and works with people facing a wide range of life changes and emotional challenges.
She approaches therapy believing each person is the narrator and creator of their own story. Sessions aim to build on strengths people already have and to find practical steps forward. Laura emphasizes clear talk, small experiments between sessions, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Over her career she has helped people manage grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and the stresses of caregiving and chronic illness. Additional areas she works with include adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and commitment worries. She also supports people exploring sexual identity and alternative sexual cultures.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Those approaches are used to match techniques to a person’s needs, whether that means learning new coping skills or facing uncomfortable feelings.
Laura encourages a collaborative pace. She helps people set realistic goals, track small gains, and find what fits their life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through the process.

How Laura's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and homework, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a longer in-person visit is difficult. They also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, and homework or worksheets can be shared between appointments to keep momentum going.
