Laura France, LPC

Laura France is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices in Colorado and offers straightforward, practical support for parents and individuals coping with life changes.

Her approach focuses on clear strategies you can use between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set specific, achievable goals and track progress over time.

Laura pays attention to issues that often get overlooked, such as caregiver strain, feelings of isolation, and struggles with guilt or shame. She helps people work through communication problems and control issues, and she supports women dealing with identity and self-love concerns. Sessions aim to be practical and easy to apply to day-to-day life.

In a session she will listen without judgment, help clarify priorities, and teach skills for calmer thinking and clearer communication. Homework is simple and focused on small steps that add up. Clients leave sessions with tools they can try right away.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and build routines that reduce stress. The emphasis is on small changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy Work Online

Online sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts that increase anxiety or depression and then test new, more balanced ways of thinking. CBT tools often include brief exercises, thought records, and practical behavior changes that are easy to practice between appointments.

Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-directed and brief by design. It helps people identify concrete goals, notice what is already working, and build on small successes. This approach is useful for time-limited problems and for tracking measurable progress over weeks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your needs, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to set priorities and to review goals regularly so the approach fits their life and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or short coaching-style support. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and caregiving commitments.
