Laura Angers Maddox , LPC

Laura Angers Maddox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and issues common to women. She focuses on clear, practical work that addresses day-to-day struggles. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope.

Laura draws on about nine years of counseling experience in a range of settings. She has worked in group homes, office clinics, and provided in-home counseling. That variety shaped a flexible approach that fits different life situations and schedules.

In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change reactions to stress and anxiety. When trauma is involved she incorporates trauma-focused work to address painful memories and symptoms.

Laura also applies elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Solution-focused methods guide short-term goals and practical steps when someone needs quick relief or clearer direction. Together these approaches support work on grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, panic attacks, and family-of-origin issues.

She aims to build a respectful counseling relationship that encourages honesty and real change. Her background includes work with survivors of sexual assault and abuse, people facing depression and bipolar challenges, and those dealing with attachment or abandonment wounds. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Laura often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what they find most pressing. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another common method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and symptoms and then suggest a path forward. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted over time to better suit the individual's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or for people who write more comfortably than they speak. These options make therapy more flexible around work, parenting, and travel demands, and let therapists support people across different locations.
