About Laura

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and difficult relationships. Laura presents a calm, straightforward approach and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and making changes.

She works with people facing anger, self-esteem struggles, motivation issues, and confidence concerns. Laura also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions. Additional areas she helps with include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment and abandonment concerns, and questions around identity and sexuality.

Laura blends practical thinking tools with attention to a person’s values and experience. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and client-centered listening. Sessions aim to clarify unhelpful habits, test new behaviors, and keep goals tied to what matters most to the client.

Her style emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them edit unhelpful stories. Progress is built through repeated small steps and steady practice rather than quick fixes.

To start, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with stress, sleep, eating, and confidence. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, helpful for anger and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as new priorities emerge and as the client tests what helps in daily life.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make regular practice and homework easier to track between sessions. Licensed professionals adapt materials and exercises for remote work so progress stays focused on changing everyday habits and thought patterns.
