About Laci

Laci Unruh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related struggles such as eating and sleeping problems and ADHD.

She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's experience central. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters most, and building practical steps to cope with everyday pressures. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and recurring patterns.

Unruh also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are used when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These methods are offered in a way that connects to daily life and parenting responsibilities.

Her work covers specific topics such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image and eating concerns, guilt and shame, midlife questions, panic attacks, social anxiety, and struggles common to young adults. Sessions are meant to be practical and paced to fit real-world demands.

People who come to her often want help sorting relationship stress, grieving losses, or managing strong emotions without judgment. The focus is on clear steps, short-term coping tools, and longer-term shifts in how problems are handled.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people name their priorities and decide what to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the person's day-to-day life. Adjustments are made over time so work in sessions connects to what actually happens at home and during parenting or caregiving responsibilities.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in the settings where their challenges occur. Licensed professionals can help plan how to use sessions in ways that fit routines and responsibilities.
