01About Laura
Laura Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings four years of clinical experience to her work in Oregon. She focuses on helping people facing depression, relationship strain, trauma and issues with intimacy. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
Laura uses practical tools to help people cope with mood shifts, ADHD symptoms, and major life changes. Sessions often include clear steps to try between meetings so progress can continue outside the session.
Background and approach
She pays attention to patterns that affect self-esteem, eating concerns, and how past experiences shape current relationships. Clients can expect a calm, person-centered atmosphere where their goals guide the work. Laura listens for strengths and builds on them, then pairs those strengths with skills drawn from cognitive and mindfulness-based approaches.
She explains techniques in everyday language and checks in to make sure they fit each person’s life. Her experience also covers issues such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. Laura is familiar with a wide range of presenting concerns and tailors plans to what each client brings into the room.
Therapy is offered in multiple online formats, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment to talk about goals and next steps.

How Laura’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Laura blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values; it’s useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for mood concerns, eating issues, and ADHD-related coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, life demands, and personal preferences together with you. Over the first few sessions she will suggest strategies and then adjust them based on what feels helpful and realistic for your daily routine.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for longer sessions and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat may suit short check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep a dialogue going between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving commitments.
