Laura Moore , LCMHC

Laura Moore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. Laura also supports work on self-esteem, motivation, intimacy-related issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life transitions.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her and their story. She encourages people to notice their strengths and use them to move forward. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on small steps that add up over time.

Laura draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential perspectives. She adapts techniques to match each person's goals rather than following one rigid method.

Over 25 years she has worked with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, family-related stress, and caregiving strain. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, and diverse relationship and intimacy topics.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People who choose to work with Laura can expect steady, down-to-earth support aimed at building coping skills, clarifying values, and improving daily functioning.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to small, meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods often suit anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support regular check-ins, brief skills practice, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules while keeping therapy focused on real, usable tools.
