Laurel Boyer , LPC

Laurel Boyer is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience in Colorado. She focuses on helping adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, grief, and major life changes. Laurel works to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through painful emotions and find practical ways to cope.

Laurel centers sessions on each person's story and priorities. She listens closely to what matters and helps people set goals they can actually use between sessions. Her style is warm and steady, with an emphasis on real-world coping skills and emotional awareness.

Clients come for help with depression, social anxiety, compassion fatigue, and feeling stuck after separation or career shifts. Laurel also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, and the emotional work that comes with hospice or end-of-life concerns. She pays attention to seasonal mood changes and post-traumatic stress when those issues are present.

Her practice draws on client-centered work and mindfulness to help people slow down and notice what is happening inside them. She also brings existential and Jungian ideas into conversation for people exploring meaning and identity. Occasionally she uses hypnotherapy when a client and therapist agree it may be helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Laurel guides each person toward manageable steps, aiming to reduce overwhelm and increase emotional clarity.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Laurel often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on meeting each person where they are. This approach means the therapist listens closely and helps the client set goals and find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment. Mindfulness practices taught online can support emotional regulation, reduce rumination, and help with seasonal mood shifts or social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurel will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That makes the process collaborative and lets the plan change if something is not helpful.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when scheduling smaller, more frequent contacts. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
