Laura Chilson , LPC

Laura Chilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She uses straightforward talk and tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports people coping with trauma, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, grief, sleeping problems, and major life changes.

Before becoming an LPC, Laura worked in mental health as a social services specialist and as a school counselor. She also practiced as a life coach. That background shaped her interest in helping people create lasting change, so she completed a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and licensed supervision hours.

In sessions she blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills. That means she pays attention to how relationships affect feelings, helps identify unhelpful thoughts, and teaches simple grounding and breathing practices. She adapts tools to each person rather than following one rigid plan.

Laura brings five years of therapy-related experience and emphasizes respect and empathy. She talks through goals with each person and adjusts the pace based on needs. Her approach is collaborative and practical, aimed at small changes that add up.

People meet with her for a range of concerns including compassion fatigue, abandonment or attachment issues, blended family stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and immigration-related strain. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, chat, or messaging.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Laura blends attachment-based work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness so people can both understand their relationship patterns and learn practical coping skills. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early or current relationships affect feelings and behavior, which can help with trust, abandonment, and communication struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple present-moment skills like breathing and grounding to reduce overwhelm and manage stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and then try strategies together to see what helps. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so the plan stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit short updates or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
