01About Laura
Laura Wheeler greets people with a direct, practical style. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting and ADHD-related challenges. Laura aims to help clients build on their existing strengths so they can make steady, achievable changes.
She has eight years of counseling experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Michigan. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward real-life problems like impulsivity, trouble concentrating, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and finding purpose.
Background and approach
Laura uses a mix of techniques chosen to match each person's needs. Common tools include cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, dialectical skills for managing intense emotions, and guided reading assignments to reinforce change between sessions. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps.
Conversations often include skill practice, homework that fits daily life, and check-ins about what is or isn’t helping. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who prefer straightforward guidance and tangible tools may find her style useful.
She works with adults in Michigan and offers care with attention to the realities of parenting, caregiving, chronic pain, and women’s health concerns.

Evidence-based tools and online care that fit your life
Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior approaches in her work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior approaches teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help with impulsivity and strong feelings.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and daily routines, then recommend techniques to try. Progress is reviewed regularly and methods are adjusted so the work stays relevant to the client's life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brainstorming coping strategies, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and ongoing caregiving responsibilities.
