Laci Unruh, LPC

Laci Unruh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to help people manage overwhelming emotions. She brings 13 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach. She speaks English and practices from Texas.

Laci focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, stress, and depression. She also supports people dealing with anger, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with eating or sleeping. Life transitions, addiction concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues are included in her focus areas.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Laci aims to create a respectful space without judgment. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep them stuck. This makes goals feel more manageable and realistic.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often part of her work to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices and client-centered techniques are used to increase self-awareness and build coping skills. Expect a practical focus with space for emotions.

Laci emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She helps people rebuild confidence, address shame or guilt, and find clearer direction when facing life changes. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on actionable steps people can use between sessions.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can guide people through thought records, behavioral experiments, and clear action steps to try between meetings. This approach often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can support stress, anger, and sleep problems. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a respectful space to be heard and to build goals together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, client-centered methods, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. That process may shift as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual cues and a fuller session. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work, parenting, school, and busy schedules.
