Laura Moore, LCSW

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She practices in Florida and focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. She also helps with parenting challenges, grief, career shifts, and concerns related to ADHD and autism spectrum issues.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. She listens first, then works with each person to find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions often include coping strategies, goal-setting, and ways to manage overwhelming feelings.

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and bring calm attention to the present moment. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support change in manageable steps.

People come for many reasons - from intimacy and communication struggles to dealing with illness, caregiver strain, or end-of-life concerns. She pays attention to issues such as body image, codependency, abandonment, and chronic stress like compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be practical and tailored to each person’s priorities.

Laura offers a caring, nonjudgmental space that emphasizes collaboration. She encourages small, achievable goals and teaches tools people can use between sessions. Her goal is to help clients make steady progress toward a steadier, more satisfying life.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Laura blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods with mindfulness techniques to support people online. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more useful thinking; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can set their own goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines and then try methods that match those needs. Clients and therapist adjust strategies over time based on what helps most, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
