About Laura

Laura Chilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She uses a narrative-informed approach and practical talk therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She draws on five years of clinical experience plus prior roles in social services, life coaching, and school counseling.

That background shapes a down-to-earth style focused on real problems and clear steps forward. Sessions are designed to fit the person, not a rigid model.

Background and approach

Laura helps people navigate parenting challenges, grief, sleep trouble, addiction concerns, and major life transitions. She also addresses specific topics such as attachment issues, abandonment, blended family concerns, immigration-related stress, and chronic illness or pain. Conversations aim to surface patterns and practical changes that reduce daily strain.

Her work blends Narrative Therapy with attachment-aware listening and client-centered pacing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and dialectical skills are introduced when they match a person's goals. Sessions emphasize coping skills, clearer communication, and choices people can try between meetings.

People looking to begin simply fill out a short matching form to get connected, then schedule sessions that work for them. Laura communicates in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to meet.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Laura integrates Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories that shape their daily life. Narrative work encourages naming unhelpful patterns and trying alternative narratives that lead to different choices and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships influence trust, communication, and emotional reactions, which can help with relationship strain and parenting concerns.

She approaches treatment collaboratively - finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to goals and preferences, then suggests a mix of narrative exploration, attachment-aware listening, and tools from CBT or DBT when they match what someone wants to change. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reminders, and practicing skills between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
