About Laura
Laura Lathan is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who focuses on work and wellbeing and everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, and life changes. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can learn skills to manage strong feelings and get through hard days. Laura also supports parents who feel unsure how to balance their child’s needs while handling their own stress.
Her approach mixes practical skill-building with clear explanations. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills. Sessions are about learning tools that can be used right away in daily life.
With three years of experience, Laura has worked with issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and behavioral challenges. She pays attention to attachment patterns, communication problems, and caregiver stress when those concerns are part of someone’s story. She emphasizes collaborative work so each person’s goals guide the process.
People who want concrete strategies and a steady partner in problem solving may find her approach useful. She invites clients to mix professional guidance with their own knowledge so they can take manageable steps forward. Laura practices in Alabama and offers services in English.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Laura uses two well-known, evidence-based approaches to help people manage everyday struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify the thoughts that lead to distress and teaches practical ways to test and change those thoughts so behavior and mood can shift. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building skills for handling intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving stress responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what strategies feel realistic. Together they adjust methods over time so the work fits the person's needs and life context.
