About Laura
Laura Frelich is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common household strains like stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, and substance use challenges.
She helps people talk through what is happening at home and at work. Sessions use clear, direct conversation. Laura aims to reduce overwhelm and find practical next steps rather than rely on jargon.
Her work often addresses grief, anger, and the ups and downs of mood including depression and bipolar concerns. She also supports people managing ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse.
Laura uses client-centered methods, meaning she listens first and follows the person's lead. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress.
Clients who mention substance use get added attention to drug and alcohol addiction and related family problems. Women facing life transitions or specific pressures may bring those issues into sessions as well.
Her style is straightforward and practical. The process begins with understanding the immediate problem and then building concrete steps to address it. To set up a first session, clients go through a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's pace, reflects what she hears, and helps the client name and prioritize immediate concerns. This approach is useful for sorting family tensions and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral changes to test new ways of handling conflict, anxiety, or low mood. CBT often suits people who want specific tools to use between sessions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Laura will work with the client to decide whether to focus more on listening and understanding, on specific CBT strategies, or on a mix of both. She adapts the plan based on the client's goals and how life at home or work is structured. Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy household schedule and avoiding travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to attend brief check-ins, schedule around childcare or work breaks, and keep continuity when life gets hectic.Areas of focus
