About Laura

Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She has worked in the mental health field since 1995 and brings three decades of experience to sessions. Laura aims to help people move toward greater calm, clearer relationships, and more confidence in daily life.

She uses a client-centered approach that lets the person set therapy goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and solutions to problems. Laura often gives short homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.

Her experience includes crisis counseling and working with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and PTSD. She has also supported people facing relationship strain, parenting stresses, career challenges, and family conflict. Anger, addictions, and grief are among the issues she addresses.

Laura describes her style as strengths-based. She looks for what has helped a person get this far and builds on those resources. She also helps people identify and use natural supports in their lives.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and practical tools to try between sessions. Laura emphasizes empowerment and steady progress. She welcomes questions about how therapy might help and encourages people to start by describing what they most want to change.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. The therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify what matters most, and supports whatever change the person wants to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems active and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That lets them agree on a plan and adjust methods if needed as progress is tracked.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets clients practice skills in real-world settings between meetings. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine goal-focused homework with conversation to keep momentum between sessions.
