Laura Nagy, LPC

Laura Nagy uses a practical, goal-focused approach to help people make steady changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and solution-focused work. Laura is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience in the field.

She has worked since 1995 in crisis counseling and with people facing depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Laura has also supported those coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress. Her background includes work around relationship strain, work stress, parenting challenges, and family problems.

Sessions are collaborative. Laura helps each person set clear goals and then breaks those goals into manageable steps. She often suggests short exercises or homework between meetings so progress continues outside of sessions.

Her style emphasizes people’s strengths and resilience. She encourages clients to notice the resources they already have and to build practical skills for handling stress, grief, addiction struggles, or career transitions. She has experience using equine-assisted methods in past practice.

Laura brings calm, straightforward guidance and practical tools. She aims to help people reduce symptoms, manage difficult feelings, and rebuild a sense of purpose and connection. Her approach is steady and action-oriented, focused on helping people move forward.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy

Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas and a client-centered, solution-focused stance in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's goals and perspective, offering empathetic support and helping people find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That teamwork helps shape whether sessions emphasize skill practice, problem-solving, or exploring past patterns.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing reminders between meetings. These options help people access consistent care that fits their schedule and daily life.
