Laura Husband is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, mood concerns, parenting strains, relationship conflict, and trauma-related problems. Laura presents as compassionate and LGBTQIA+ affirming and aims to create a steady, respectful space to talk through what feels most urgent.

She has long experience in community mental health settings and has supported people with depression, anxiety, self-harm, anger, and sleep disruption. Many of her clients have also faced physical, emotional, or sexual trauma, and she draws on that history when planning care. She helps people address postpartum depression, grief, and the day-to-day work of coping with life changes.

Laura blends person-centered listening with practical tools. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, emotionally focused methods, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions typically combine listening, problem-solving, and skill practice so people can try changes between visits.

Her toolkit also attends to attachment, dissociation, caregiver stress, communication problems, and neurodiversity concerns including autism and ADHD. She works with issues like polyamory and gender dysphoria with attention to each person’s values and goals.

People who come to Laura can expect steady support, clear steps to try between sessions, and a focus on what matters most to them. To begin, the profile here explains how to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where the person leads the conversation; it helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps and offers homework exercises to practice new skills between sessions, which can work well when addressing anxiety, mood, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific coping skills for strong emotions, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger management, self-harm urges, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed together and methods are adjusted as needed.

If you are considering remote work, confirm the current session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and DBT skills for remote sessions so people can practice tools between meetings.
