About me
Hello, my name is Laura. I have been counseling for over 15 years. My theoretical orientation is Existentialism, although I am inspired by CBT, REBT and most especially radical acceptance and mindfulness. I have experience working in psychiatric hospitals and with addictions and currently am the Program Director of an IOP. I am very open to using modern technology as a treatment modality and see it is the modern and convenient. It is a real pleasure to help you using this groundbreaking platform. I enjoy using unique and creative therapeutic techniques tailored to you and your child. In this way I do not limit my technique. I have a strong skill set in understanding the brain as well as personality and family as well as relationship dynamics. In dealing with children and teens I always keep in mind they are seeking love and understanding.
A pleasure to meet you,
Laura

Laura Thompson is very good at quickly understanding and evaluating a situation. And she offers up good advice and support. She is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend Laura.
Laura is a very understanding person and caring. She listens to me and no judgements even though my thoughts and conversations are all of the place and scattered. She knew what was going on with me it had to do with something from childhood even though it may seem at first glance it wasn't but it is. She is very respectful and thoughtful person.

Very kind and knowledgeable. Wonderful to talk to.
My counselor was great, responsive and would recommend. I wish I was able to continue, but I will be back.
She’s amazing and I wish I could meet her in person and have my session that way. I never thought I’d go to therapy but she put me at ease and was able to help me. Thank you Laura
Laura “gets” and quickly puts into words what I’m trying to express. Which makes me feel heard and understood, and I often feel not hear and misunderstood. Making fast progress and feeling so good during some crazy times.
Laura is my favorite counselor. I often feel like I have a true confidant who is going to listen, tell it like it is, and provide encouragement. She has gone above and beyond to help me regardless of time. I truly value her.
Laura is an amazing person. She really understands my needs for these sessions and has helped me work through some of the most difficult times of my life. Thank you, Laura!
Shes amazing, accommodating, strikes a very strong balance of being empathetic and sympathetic without being enabling. Not an easy thing to do. Shes been massively helpful for me. Would recommend her for anyone.
Thank God for Laura Thompson.
Love my counselor!
Thank you Laura!
Laura is the best! I’m so glad she’s my counselor.
What a blessing to have worked with Laura! She is filled with love and light and tremendous insight. Often times, her responses to my dilemmas were choices and roads I never knew existed to explore. Laura taught me to take risks and trust and believe in myself. Hands down, these two years were a turning point for me. Thank you!
Laura is a great counselor. Shows you different techniques on how to cope and relax. Very thoughtful and considerate. She’s great!

Laura brought my husband and I back to being partners!
Laura is excellent!
Laura, is really helpful and kind! I was terrified to try video and phone therapy at first, but that quickly wore off. She has been really understanding, helpful and kind in regards to grief, anxiety and also the challenges of adulting/life transitions.
Laura Thompson is amazing. She will listen to everything you have to say and guide you through any struggle you have. She has made me into a stronger person than before and for that I am grateful.
Laura has been working with my wife and I for several months. We've really benefited from her perspective. She connected with us quickly and has been a source of reason and compromise. We are getting better now thanks to Laura.
Laura is extremely personable. It’s very easy to talk to her as my most authentic self. I’m very grateful for the work she’s done with me.
Laura is great at helping me keep focused on what’s best for me and in my life. She helps bring me clarity even when that isn’t easy for me. Laura has been a great help to me during a difficult time.
I was initially apprehensive of counseling online, as I had never done it before. After having gone through a few sessions with Laura, I have found this to be a great way to get the therapy I have been needing and putting off. I have been extremely comfortable in my sessions and I feel I have found the perfect counselor for me. I always look forward to my appointments and highly recommend Laura.
She's wonderful! We feel so much better on days when we talk to her.
I respect Laura and she me. Her expertise is exponential. She could be a good friend.
Laura is a wonderful. She cares about what I have to say and listens carefully. I’m grateful to work with her.
She cares about me.
She is wonderful and attentive!
Thank God for Dr. Laura! At a time when I was at my lowest, she was there to listen. When I finally started to be receptive, she would offer her words. Not necessarily advice, but more of just guidance through my own thoughts and worries. But she also would put me in my place when I needed it! I feel so lucky to have had help from her these past few months.
Very helpfull
Laura is wonderful. We’ve been talking about two weeks now I want to say. Have had two phone conversations. I really look forward to talking with her even by chat I love just typing what I’m thinking or feeling to get her option and expertise. Even within two weeks I feel better. 110% would recommend Laura! Can’t wait to see what more she has in store about helping me and me progressing.
Very attentive and listened to all my feelings. Gave great advice.
I have never had counseling before, but I was actively looking. I came across better health on the internet. When I video chatted with Laura I was a little nervous and ashamed of what I wanted to talk about, but Laura was so welcoming and had no judgment. I would 100% recommend her for anyone who needs to speak with someone. I also like how she helps me with holistic approaches instead of medication.
She's very friendly, and pays attention to my needs. Checks up on me when I haven't talked to her in a couple days.
She’s great!
Laura Thompson has not been that long with us but the little time that I have spent with her has been somewhat of a challenge for the parties concerned.
She is always there to help you through out your day and during the counseling period. I can text her anytime and know for sure that she will give me the needed help.
Laura has been reliable and insightful. She encouraged my progress and her support has helped me a great deal. I feel very fortunate to have been matched with her. I've been to counseling in the past and she has helped me the most and in a very brief period of time. I would highly recommend Laura!
Laura is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely helpful. Fully recommend.
Very informative!
I love it!
Laura seems to be genuine with her responses. I have only had 2 sessions, but I currently feel comfortable with her.
I haven't been with her very long, but she always makes herself available to me. She brings clarity to my life and my grief that I didn't have before. She is great at helping me to put things into perspective.
Laura was completely empathic to my needs with my daughter.
Laura is a wonderful help to many of our problems. She tackles them efficiently and in an expert manner. With methods such as meditation that connect the body, mind and soul, there will always be a solution to the conflict presented.
Laura was an answer to my prayers. No nonsense and honest. Compassionate and direct. She was a gift from God to me. She is my biggest cheerleader. I am so grateful.
Laura helped me through a really tough time. Sometimes it's great to have somebody there. She responds quickly almost any time of the day.
Laura responds very well and gives me prompt solutions.

Laura has been amazing. Have only been with her a short time but have already taken some very positive steps in my life which I am sure is because of her.

I strongly recommend Laura.
