Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care with Laura Costello

Laura uses focused, skills-based cognitive techniques to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. These approaches teach practical tools for managing anxiety, improving mood, and handling everyday stressors in ways that support longer-term change.

She also incorporates trauma-informed work that emphasizes safety, pacing, and careful processing of past experiences when relevant. This style helps people build coping capacity and integrate difficult memories without overwhelming the present moment. In relational and family work Laura draws on communication-focused strategies to rebuild connection, address intimacy concerns, and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Laura partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of support across locations, and can help clients access consistent work with licensed professionals from the comfort of their own routines.
