Laura Kozak , LPC

Laura Kozak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who focuses on women's concerns around relationships, grief, trauma, and self-esteem. She works with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, struggling with attachment or abandonment worries, or trying to rebuild confidence after painful events.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Conversations are tailored to each person so sessions address the issues that matter most. She aims to be compassionate and attentive while helping clients find practical steps forward.

Over two decades of work inform her practice. That experience shapes how she listens for patterns in relationships, recognizes common reactions to trauma, and supports people through separation or blended family transitions. She blends methods to match each situation rather than relying on a single tool.

She uses client-centered engagement to build trust and create space for honest discussion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when unhelpful thoughts keep someone stuck, and solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable changes.

Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on what fits the client. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, and subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s experience and goals. It involves attentive listening and reflecting so people feel heard while exploring what matters most to them. This approach helps with building trust, processing emotions, and shaping goals that feel personally meaningful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, workable responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaboration guides which approaches are emphasized and how sessions are structured.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face to face from another location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
