Laura Moore, LCMHC

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 25 years of experience in North Carolina. She focuses on practical tools that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship struggles. Laura frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client guides their own story while she offers steady support and direction.

She emphasizes straightforward work on confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking and develop small, realistic changes that build over time. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment techniques and client-centered listening, so sessions are both skills-focused and grounded in the person sitting across from her.

Laura has worked with a wide range of life concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and caregiving stress. She also addresses specific topics such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, body image, chronic illness, and aging-related worries. This variety shapes a flexible, experience-based practice.

People can expect a calm, direct style that combines active strategies and open conversation. Laura supports people as they try new behaviors, notice what works, and adjust plans when needed. The work is paced to match each person's goals and day-to-day life.

Therapy begins by clarifying practical goals and picking a few initial steps to try between sessions. Over time those steps are refined into sustainable routines that help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Laura integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood. ACT helps people notice emotional pain, clarify values, and commit to actions that matter despite difficult feelings. She also draws on client-centered therapy to provide listening and reassurance while clients make practical changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most. That way the focus stays on useful steps rather than fitting a single method to every problem.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing coaching possible between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or travel without losing continuity of care.
