About Laura

Laura Noonan-Cavins is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in New Jersey. She brings 15 years of experience helping people navigate relationship strain, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, anxiety, and career challenges. She speaks English and works with adults seeking clearer direction and stronger coping skills.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as on changing how you understand difficult patterns.

Background and approach

Laura uses narrative ideas to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients build values-based action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternatives.

Therapy often includes practicing new communication skills, examining patterns around commitment or codependency, and addressing issues like caregiver stress or body image. Work may also cover life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or midlife decisions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and are part of a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect clients with a therapist.

Online session options

How narrative and evidence-based methods work online

Laura blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite those narratives. This can be useful for issues like identity, life purpose, or patterns that repeat in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and teaches practical skills to test and change them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative stance means techniques are chosen to match the client’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
