Laura Gose , LCMHC

Laura Gose is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, and big life changes. She brings 17 years of experience and a steady, practical approach to sessions. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people make clearer choices and feel less overwhelmed.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, manageable changes between meetings. Laura emphasizes skills that can be practiced in everyday life so progress can carry over outside the session room.

Laura believes clients know their own story and taps into their strengths as part of the work. She listens closely and helps people name problems, set goals, and try new strategies. That may include coping tools for panic or social anxiety, ways to manage anger, or steps to recover after trauma.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work in North Carolina as an LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. That experience informs a calm, task-focused approach that still honors emotions and personal values.

People who come to her for women’s issues can expect a direct, empathetic style that centers their concerns. Sessions move at a pace the client chooses and focus on practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier moods.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then try small changes that can improve mood and behavior. CBT is useful for worry, panic, social anxiety, low mood, and many stress-related problems because it breaks issues into concrete steps and practice tasks.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Laura works with each person to set goals and pick strategies that match their needs and everyday life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is working and what is not so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face and practice skills in conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
