About Laura

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and issues with self-esteem. Laura emphasizes that each person shapes their own story and already has strengths to build on. She invites people to take the first step toward change and offers steady support along the way.

Laura uses clear, hands-on methods in sessions. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered work, and elements of existential thinking. Sessions often focus on practical skills for day-to-day life, like managing strong emotions, improving sleep and rest, and changing patterns that get in the way of goals.

She also addresses concerns often linked to life transitions and identity, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, body image, and challenges related to caregiving or chronic illness. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment issues, autism spectrum concerns, and relationship styles such as commitment or codependency difficulties.

Laura aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. People can expect a collaborative approach where the counselor listens first, clarifies goals, and then works on skills and perspectives that fit the person’s life. She supports international clients and conducts work in English.

To begin, people are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on breaking unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing different thoughts and actions in everyday life. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills, helping people manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what fits the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides the plan for sessions.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can still help fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist about goals such as improving sleep and rest, managing stress, or handling relationship strain, and she will help match practical methods to those aims.
