About Laura
Laura Walls is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions, including issues linked to family of origin and attachment.
She spends sessions helping people notice how old family patterns affect current choices and relationships. Conversations focus on clearer communication, understanding emotional triggers, and practical steps to change unhelpful habits. Laura uses everyday language and concrete strategies rather than jargon.
Her approach blends attachment-based thinking with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered conversation. That combination supports people who want to rethink patterns that came from childhood, repair how they relate to others, or manage mood and anxiety symptoms more effectively.
People who come for help with grief, caregiver stress, ADHD, or parenting find work that links present problems to past roles and expectations. Sessions often include skills practice, reflective questions, and experiments to test new ways of interacting.
Laura has long experience with adults in midlife, women, caregivers, and young adults. She also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family issues, and attachment struggles. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are regular parts of the work.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, check-ins about progress, and adjustments to make strategies fit day-to-day life. The emphasis is on learning patterns, trying new behaviors, and building routines that reduce stress and improve relationships.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions using this lens help people identify patterns that come from family roles and practice different responses in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In virtual conversation this can create a steady space to name feelings, try new perspectives, and make decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. Online work often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and doing brief behavioral experiments between sessions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you go. Clients and therapist check progress and adapt tools to fit the concerns that matter most. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about which kinds of virtual appointments are offered when you schedule. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting counseling into workdays, reducing travel time, handling short check-ins easily, or choosing audiovisual or phone options that suit their routine.Areas of expertise
