Laura Braswell , LCSW

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings three years of clinical experience and a practical, matter-of-fact style to sessions. Laura listens closely and helps people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and questions about purpose.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centered work. Sessions often include skills practice, values clarification, and steps to change unhelpful patterns. Laura also integrates mindfulness techniques to help with mood, sleep, and impulse control.

People come to her for many concerns such as trauma and abuse, addiction and substance issues, parenting challenges, fertility and adoption questions, eating and body image struggles, and intimacy or commitment doubts. She also supports those facing career changes, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and anger management needs.

Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings and experience leading both group and individual sessions. Laura emphasizes a collaborative relationship where clients set goals and try small experiments between meetings. She frames progress as steady steps rather than instant fixes.

Sessions focus on practical tools and honest conversation. Laura aims to help people reduce symptoms and build routines that fit daily life. Her approach is direct but empathetic, helping clients test new behaviors and notice what works.

People who want a clinician who mixes talk, skills training, and mindful practice may find her approach useful. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English for those who prefer remote care.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, committed steps toward them. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and struggles with motivation or purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with depression, anxiety, sleep, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy, trust, and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Methods may be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the person.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection feels helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines.
