About Laura
Laura Standley is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Montana. She brings 14 years of experience from both outpatient counseling and inpatient hospital settings. Laura helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, family conflicts, and concerns about self-esteem. She also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, and codependency.
Laura keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters day to day. She listens first, then helps people name what is most troubling and set small, realistic steps toward change. Conversations are kept judgment-free so people can talk honestly about feelings, choices, and setbacks.
Her background includes work with people experiencing trauma, mood disorders, impulsivity, jealousy, and domestic violence. That experience informs how she helps clients manage strong emotions and rebuild routines. Laura supports people who want clearer communication, steadier mood, and healthier boundaries.
In sessions she uses practical tools and collaborative planning rather than long lectures. Expect concrete strategies you can try between sessions and time to reflect on what worked. Progress is framed as gradual and paced to each person’s needs.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approach and online options for therapy
Laura works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and real-life changes. One common approach she uses helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and strong emotions by practicing small behavioral changes and coping exercises. Another focuses on improving attachment and relationship patterns by identifying how early experiences shape current reactions and by trying new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients decide what to try and Laura helps evaluate what is most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work on communication and boundary skills from their everyday routines, which helps practice new behaviors between sessions.
