Laura Schwades

Laura Schwades is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or repeated anger. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, and struggles with motivation.

Laura starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing strengths they already have. She treats clients as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set practical goals. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build confidence and reduce distress.

Her approach centers on helping people name what is happening for them, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between visits. She talks through triggers, patterns, and communication habits, and helps people experiment with different strategies that might fit their daily life.

Clients can expect a supportive, no-judgment atmosphere where effort is noticed and progress is tracked. Laura emphasizes courage and steady change rather than quick fixes. She aims to help people move toward a more satisfying routine and clearer sense of purpose.

To begin, visitors are encouraged to use the service Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. This helps match goals with workable next steps for therapy.

Approaches that guide online work and fit your life

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on practical skill building: learning concrete strategies to calm anxiety, manage intense anger, and improve sleep and daily routines. These skills are taught in short, repeatable steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Another helpful method emphasizes processing reactions to trauma and abuse so they have less control over daily life. This work involves naming responses, understanding triggers, and trying new ways to respond that reduce distress and avoid repeating the same patterns.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she helps choose methods that fit the client’s pace and preferences so work in sessions connects to real-life change.
