Laura Nagy , LPC

Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in mental health. She practices from a client-centered and solution-focused perspective and helps people set their own goals. Laura emphasizes practical steps and homework between sessions to keep progress moving.

Laura has worked in crisis counseling and with people facing depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. She has supported clients dealing with PTSD and suicidal ideation. Her background also includes work on relationship strains, work stress, career challenges, parenting problems, and broader family issues.

Her approach highlights strengths and the courage it takes to seek help. Sessions focus on discovering personal supports and building tools to manage stress, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and other struggles. She aims to help people regain a sense of balance and direction.

People seeking help for intimacy-related concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, or life changes such as midlife transitions may find her focus areas relevant. She also lists attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar concerns, and caregiver stress among areas she addresses.

Laura lives in Michigan and brings practical, down-to-earth guidance to her work. She uses a mix of therapeutic styles to match what each person needs, and she favors clear steps that can be practiced between meetings to build lasting change.

Approaches that guide online work and practical steps

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your priorities, and helping you set the goals you want to reach. It helps people who need a supportive space to sort feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by giving short exercises and homework to practice new skills.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to past experience and recurring patterns that shape current reactions. It can help people who want to understand deeper causes of relationship problems, emptiness, or repeating life patterns.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. That can include mixing approaches and adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing connection between sessions. These options offer flexibility to keep momentum while balancing work, family, and other demands.
