About Laura

Laura Aiken is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She writes and talks in straightforward terms with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She emphasizes practical steps that fit each person's life and goals.

She draws on several approaches to shape sessions to individual needs. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and find new perspectives.

Background and approach

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and respected. Laura also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness exercises, and Motivational Interviewing to help with emotional regulation, decision making, and motivation. Sessions often include clear strategies, short exercises, and space to talk through difficult memories or repeated patterns.

Her background includes work in addiction settings and collaborations with drug courts and a recovery home. That experience informs a practical, problem-solving way of working with setbacks and progress. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Laura aims to match the pace and tools to each person's life so therapy can fit into busy schedules and real-world demands.

How narrative work and skills-based therapy fit online

Laura often combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered Therapy and DBT-informed skill building. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for new ways to understand difficult experiences and repeated patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and making the therapist-client relationship collaborative so people feel respected and understood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial expressions and use worksheets together. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and different routines.
