About Laura
Laura Roland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with adults in individual sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and related concerns listed in her profile.
She approaches work in a straightforward way. She helps people look past quick fixes and address the root of repeating patterns. Sessions often include practical tools such as worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges designed to build new habits between appointments.
Clients who come for relationship or attachment concerns can expect work on how past patterns show up now. For trauma-related problems she uses structured methods alongside support for emotional regulation. She also works with people managing chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, or the fatigue that comes from caregiving and professional stress.
Her approach includes techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate. Those methods are used to help with anxiety, grief, codependency, anger, and life transitions among other issues.
Sessions are focused on clear goals and steady progress. She asks for active participation and homework to make change happen between meetings. The initial step is filling out a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means talking about relational histories and noticing how those patterns appear in today's relationships. It can help when someone wants to change how they attach or relate to close others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life tasks. It uses practical exercises and homework to change thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR is a structured approach used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact when trauma is a concern.
Deciding which methods to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose an approach or mix of approaches and adjust the plan as needed based on how the client responds.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days and parenting schedules. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, do homework between meetings, and follow weekly challenges. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and run.
