About Laura
Laura Chilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting concerns, depression, addiction recovery, grief, sleep problems, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes.
Before becoming an LPC she worked in social services, as a life coach, and as a school counselor. That background shaped a practical view of mental health and how it fits into everyday life. She completed a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling and the required supervised hours for licensure.
Her approach draws on attachment-based methods, client-centered practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that affect relationships and parenting. Conversations are direct and grounded in real situations at home.
When parenting feels overwhelming or family ties cause pain, she helps people identify what they want to change and manageable ways to start. She also supports adults working through grief, addiction maintenance, chronic illness challenges, and the fallout of separation or blended family stress.
Expect practical tools, skill-building, and attention to how past relationships show up now. The emphasis is on what to do next rather than on theory alone. If you are looking for steady, practical support around family and parenting concerns, she frames work around the problems you bring in.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns with partners and family. Online sessions using this lens help identify repeating dynamics and practical steps to change how you connect with others.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following your goals. In sessions this means conversations that reflect your priorities and pace, with the therapist supporting whatever you choose to address first.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include clear exercises and short homework tasks to practice between meetings, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood shifts.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find they can try techniques at home and bring real examples to talk through in the next meeting.
