01About Laura
Laura Chilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life changes. She brings five years of hands-on experience in mental health work and keeps language straightforward and practical. Parents and individuals looking for calm, steady guidance will find direct support and clear skills to try between sessions.
Before earning her LPC and completing required supervised hours, she worked in social services, as a life coach, and in schools as a counselor.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical approach to everyday problems and longer-term concerns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than full of jargon. She uses methods drawn from attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness.
Those approaches help with symptoms like panic, low mood, sleep troubles, and difficulty coping after loss or trauma. The therapist adapts tools to the concerns someone brings into the room. Laura helps people work through parenting stress, relationship communication, addiction recovery maintenance, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment wounds, chronic illness, and immigration-related stress. Her work aims to build practical coping skills alongside clearer ways to express needs. Sessions focus on what can change now and small steps to move forward.
She frames goals with respect and sensitivity, and she partners with each person to shape what therapy looks like. If someone wants straightforward skills and steady support, she offers that steady presence.

04Online support
How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and safety in the therapeutic connection. It looks at how early bonds shape current trust, communication, and closeness, and it can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple tools to shift unhelpful thinking and to build behaviors that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease depression symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy invites gentle attention to the present moment. Small practices teach people to notice stress reactions and choose a different response, which can help with panic, grief, and managing chronic pain.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting strategies based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find practical techniques that work for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexible, short-form options for questions or skill practice between sessions. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping focus on real problems and usable skills.
