Laura Salazar , LPC, LCPC

Laura Salazar is a licensed counselor with nine years of clinical experience serving individuals across a range of life challenges. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - reflecting formal training and licensure to provide professional mental health care in multiple jurisdictions. Laura approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and that her role is to offer guidance, tools, and evidence-based strategies to support clients in reaching their goals.

In partnership with those she works with, Laura develops clear treatment plans that outline desired outcomes and the steps to get there. She commonly draws from Rogerian or client-centered methods to create a warm, accepting space, and pairs those foundations with practical interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also incorporates constructivist ideas and art therapy techniques when they fit a client’s needs and preferences.

Laura has particular experience addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, intimacy and couples issues, and behavior change. Her practice emphasizes empowerment, skill building, and real-world strategies that help people navigate transitions and rebuild a sense of direction and agency.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own insights. This approach helps people who need a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore values, identity, and life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping challenges by teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance with change-focused techniques to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be particularly helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods so treatment feels relevant and manageable. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques will best support progress.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access therapy from different locations, and choose the format that fits a client’s comfort and lifestyle while working with licensed professionals.
