Laura Moore

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, and motivation. Laura emphasizes that clients are the authors of their own lives and brings a practical, respectful stance to each session.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet real-life needs. Sessions emphasize understanding current difficulties and finding small, doable steps to change daily patterns. Conversations are direct but compassionate, aimed at building confidence and clearer choices.

Laura also works with concerns around grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and caregiving stress. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. She pays attention to how health conditions and chronic pain affect mood and coping.

Her practice includes helping people navigate career shifts, parenting strain, blended family challenges, and commitment or codependency worries. She frames problems as solvable through steady effort and supported change. The therapist encourages clients to notice strengths already at work in their lives.

Laura aims to make therapy a practical tool for everyday life rather than an abstract exercise. She invites people to take the first steps and supports them through decision points, skill practice, and setbacks. The process focuses on what clients want to change and how to get there.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at habits of thinking and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective, using empathic listening and validation to build trust and self-understanding, which supports progress across many issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change and different skills are practiced.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and caregiving, the ability to keep therapy consistent while traveling or relocating, and options to use shorter check-ins when life is busy.
