About Laura
Laura Kozak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and stress. She also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and women's concerns.
She works with adults who are carrying the weight of difficult relationships or big life changes. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on immediate problems and steps clients can try between meetings.
Her approach blends several methods. Client-Centered Therapy keeps discussion focused on the client’s perspective and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers tools to change them. Psychodynamic thinking considers how past relationships shape current feelings.
In a typical session she helps people identify what matters most and what small changes might help. She may use solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals. Expect direct questions, reflection, and suggestions for new ways to handle stressful moments.
Clients who have experienced abuse, loss, or relationship ruptures often seek her help to rebuild confidence and cope with complicated emotions. She invites straightforward conversation about practical next steps, and works with each person to map out clear goals they can try between sessions.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective. The therapist listens for what matters to the client and helps set goals based on those priorities. This approach is useful for people who want a space to talk through relationship strain or grief and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and offers practical tools to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem work because it gives concrete techniques to practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using listening-based, insight-focused methods at times and skill-building or solution-focused techniques at others.
