About Laura

Laura Tellez is a licensed bilingual therapist in Texas who offers support in English and Spanish. She has more than 12 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems.

She focuses on practical, respectful conversations that meet each person where they are. Sessions aim to build confidence, reduce overwhelming feelings, and improve communication. Laura adapts the pace and topics to the client’s needs rather than following a rigid script.

Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Mindfulness tools are used to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions when they arise. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past hurts are getting in the way of daily life.

Laura also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable steps between sessions. Those small goals are intended to create momentum and make progress feel manageable. She respects cultural and language differences and tailors the plan to each person’s background.

People turn to her for help with concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, body image, infidelity, guilt and shame, and isolation. She encourages straightforward conversations about what’s most important and works with clients to find realistic next steps toward a more satisfying life.

Approaches for online pregnancy and childbirth support

Laura integrates client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage the emotional impact of pregnancy and childbirth. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and experiences, offering space to be heard and recognized. Cognitive behavioral work helps identify thoughts and patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and then practices small behavior changes to reduce their impact.

She also draws on mindfulness strategies to help with overwhelming feelings. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative: the therapist works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routine.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people try different tools between meetings and track progress together in regular sessions.
