Laura Richardson

Laura Richardson is an LMHC licensed in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical supports for stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship difficulties. Her approach centers on listening first and helping people name what matters most to them.

Clients can expect straightforward work on common struggles such as managing strong emotions, coping with life changes, and improving self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar challenges, and addictions. Family and parenting concerns, including blended family issues and caregiver stress, are regular topics in sessions.

Laura draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person in charge of goals and pace. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.

Her background includes two decades of work with adults across a range of life stages and difficulties. She often helps people address codependency, communication and control issues, and problems tied to family of origin or adoption and foster care histories.

People who want to begin are guided through a simple matching and scheduling process. Laura encourages small steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes, aiming to build coping strategies that fit daily life.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people clarify what they want from therapy and decide which steps feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers short-term, practical tools for anxiety, anger, low mood, and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That might mean practicing skills between sessions or adjusting the pace to suit how someone responds to new strategies.
