About Laura
Laura Boettger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her practice also includes support around relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coaching, and ADHD-related challenges.
She has particular experience helping people who have left or are leaving high-control groups and relationships. That work often includes addressing post-traumatic stress symptoms and complex trauma reactions. She uses a mix of approaches so sessions can be more conversational or more structured depending on what a person needs.
Laura uses EMDR as one of her tools alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and narrative techniques when they fit the situation. The aim is to help people sort out what happened, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild a sense of direction.
In practical terms she helps people name what is most pressing, manage overwhelming feelings, and practice skills for day-to-day coping. She also supports people through transitions when identity and life plans feel uncertain. Sessions focus on concrete steps and reflection that fit each person’s pace.
Her work is geared to adults across the lifespan. She offers help with issues such as dissociation, attachment wounds, family of origin problems, shame and guilt, impulsivity, isolation, and recovering self-trust. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships affect current feelings and behavior. Online sessions using this approach help people identify patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more manageable.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. In practice this looks like guided processing of distressing memories with structured sets of attention, and it can help with PTSD or ongoing trauma reactions.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether attachment work, EMDR, DBT skills, or narrative techniques fit best. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and it will be made collaboratively.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options through the site when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, lower travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely lets them continue therapy through life changes without adding long commutes.
