Laure DeForges , LPC

Laure DeForges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She draws on seven years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Laure aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

She keeps sessions down to earth and collaborative. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and what small steps might help. Laure helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, guilt, shame, and patterns that interfere with relationships and daily life.

Her work often addresses stress, addiction issues, and grief alongside mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and recurring depression. She also supports people facing intimacy issues, career transitions, sleep disruption, and parenting stress. LGBT concerns are included among the areas she covers.

Laure pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up, and she helps people who deal with control, codependency, or commitment worries. She also works with people affected by domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and HIV/AIDS-related concerns.

Therapy is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Laure Adapts Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Laure draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world changes. One common approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. This involves practical exercises you can try between sessions to change daily routines and lower stress responses.

Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Work in this area often combines paced storytelling with grounding and safety-building practices to help people feel more stable. A third element is interpersonal work that looks at relationship patterns, attachment themes, and communication habits to improve how you connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laure will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together you’ll pick methods to test and adjust as you learn what fits best.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and busy schedules.
