Laura Frelich

Laura Frelich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of practice. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. Her approach is grounded in listening first and then working together on goals that matter to each person.

She uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she draws on to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to manage them. These approaches are often applied to stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.

Laura has worked with people facing relationship strain, family problems, parenting stress, and the fallout from trauma or loss. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, self-esteem worries, and career transitions. Her background means she can help with both short-term coping and longer-term behavior change.

Sessions focus on clear steps and everyday strategies. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and build routines that support mental health. She encourages honest talk and gradual skill-building rather than quick fixes.

People who reach out are guided through a straightforward start-up process. The first meetings usually clarify goals, examine what has been tried, and set realistic next steps. Laura emphasizes steady progress paced to each person’s needs and life demands.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist focuses on what matters to the person, reflects feelings, and supports self-directed goals. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and steady emotional support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing new skills between sessions. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are paced to the person's needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also reduce barriers to attending regularly, allowing steady progress using practical tools learned in sessions.
