Laura Fletcher , LPC

Laura Fletcher is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 23 years of experience in healthcare and behavioral health. She guides people who are ready to make changes in their lives, whether they want to try something new, work through loss, or manage ongoing stress. Her style is warm and practical, with an emphasis on clear goals and steady progress.

She spent many years working alongside medical teams and wellness programs, which shaped a pragmatic approach to care. That background informs how she helps people facing chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, caregiver strain, or end-of-life issues. She also supports people coping with grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and addiction-related struggles.

Laura uses tools drawn from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness. Sessions aim to build on what already works for someone while adding new skills for emotion regulation and communication. She often blends talk-based strategies with concrete exercises to practice between sessions.

People seek her out for help with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stresses, career transitions, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns. She also addresses compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and fertility or family-of-origin problems. The work may include processing painful memories, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and strengthening daily coping routines.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Laura encourages small, achievable steps and offers coaching-style support when clients want focused behavior change. She provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and responses. In sessions this means noticing patterns in relationships and practicing different ways of relating to reduce reactivity and build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical tools to change thinking and routine responses. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge; it can be offered in a paced way online for trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and choose methods together. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try an approach and adjust it if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do longer sessions, while phone calls can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people maintain continuity of care across schedules and locations.
