About Laura
Laura Boettger is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are leaving or processing involvement in high-control groups or relationships, and she supports adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Her style aims to be steady, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each person's pace and needs.
Laura offers a calm space for people to talk through complex feelings like dread, shame, or dissociation after traumatic experiences. She uses a mix of methods that can be gentle and nondirective or more structured, depending on what a person needs in the moment. Her background includes work with post-traumatic stress and complex trauma concerns.
She draws on Attachment-Based approaches to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Client-centered methods guide sessions so the person's priorities lead the work. Laura also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping skills and from EMDR to address trauma symptoms when appropriate.
Her goal is practical change: clearer boundaries, fewer intrusive memories, steadier mood, and better day-to-day coping. She helps people sort through life transitions and rediscover a sense of purpose after major upheaval. Sessions are adapted to individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Laura works with adults across the lifespan and tailors her approach to each person's history and goals. She encourages small, achievable steps toward feeling safer and more in control of next choices.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early or past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react certain ways in close relationships and supports building safer ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of sessions, with the therapist following the client's lead and helping clarify goals and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to try first and adjust as needed. That means trying small changes, checking how they feel, and shifting strategies when something does not fit.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to follow through on skill practice between sessions and to maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can guide you in shaping sessions to your goals and daily routine.
