Laura Roland, LPC, LMHC

Laura Roland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 22 years of experience. She offers individual sessions for adults and brings a direct, warm approach to therapy. Laura helps people confront anxiety, stress, grief, and complicated life changes with practical tools and clear guidance.

Her work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-focused and client-centered methods. She uses worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to reinforce skills learned in session. Sessions are straightforward and often include concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Laura often focuses on relationship and attachment patterns, codependency, and recovery from emotional abuse. She also supports people navigating ADHD, chronic pain and autoimmune conditions, and bipolar concerns. Her practice addresses intimacy-related issues, boundaries, and anger in ways that emphasize skill building and self-awareness.

Trauma-informed methods, including EMDR and DBT strategies, are part of her toolkit for complex trauma and PTSD symptoms. She prioritizes nervous system regulation and paced work when grief, abandonment, or intergenerational wounds are involved. Clients can expect clear expectations and collaborative planning.

Her style is candid and encouraging; she names patterns and asks clients to try targeted steps between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who are ready to do the work will find a therapist who provides structure, accountability, and practical exercises.

Combining evidence-based methods with flexible online care

Laura often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and many everyday challenges. Attachment-based therapy is another element she brings in to explore relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current behavior; it can help when intimacy, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura treats the selection of methods as a collaborative process and tailors techniques to each person’s goals, pace, and comfort. She discusses options and adapts plans over time so the tools match what a person needs in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video works well for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, try brief exercises, or keep momentum when life is busy. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice skills across daily routines.
