Laure DeForges

Laure DeForges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and big life changes. Laure aims to offer a calm, affirming space where clients can talk through hard feelings and work toward clearer goals.

She often helps people dealing with low self-esteem, guilt, shame, and questions about purpose. Laure uses a collaborative style that asks what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps clients build practical ways to cope day to day.

Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues tied to addiction. Laure supports people across a wide range of emotional struggles, including career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges tied to identity and LGBT issues. She brings a steady, empathetic presence to these topics.

Laure pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, control, and codependency shape behavior and relationships. When these patterns come up, she helps people notice them and try different responses. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented tone alongside empathy. Laure aims to help clients develop clearer self-understanding, healthier habits, and tools to manage intense feelings. The work moves at a practical pace shaped by each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Laure uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she draws on helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for stress, worry, and depression.

She also emphasizes strategies that teach emotional regulation and coping skills. These techniques help with managing intense feelings like anger, grief, or cravings linked to addiction by offering step-by-step tools to use in real moments. They are often taught and practiced in session so people can apply them during daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laure collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress, adjusts methods when needed, and focuses on practical outcomes you can measure together.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during stressful periods. It can also let people try techniques in the settings where they need them most, then bring observations back to the next session.
