About Laura

Laura Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings three years of professional experience alongside a long personal history of parenting and fostering children. Laura frames therapy as a practical partnership focused on real-life change rather than only theory.

Her background includes graduate study and a Masters of Divinity with counseling emphasis. She has worked in a range of clinical settings and provided individual, group, and couples counseling. That experience shapes how she approaches common struggles like depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and life transitions.

Laura uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods. She helps people set clear goals, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and build skills to manage stress and relationships. Sessions mix talk, practical exercises, and skills practice tuned to each person’s situation.

Adoption and foster care issues are part of her focus, along with attachment concerns, parenting challenges, and fertility or loss-related questions. She also works with intimacy issues, substance concerns, body image, ADHD-related struggles, and workplace or career stress.

Her style emphasizes empathy, lived experience, and motivation. She often draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment perspectives, and mindful strategies to help people reconnect with values and purpose. Laura aims to support steady progress so clients can make meaningful changes in daily life.

Approaches that guide online work and decisions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small, committed actions. It helps people notice what matters most and take steady steps toward those goals while accepting difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with trust, closeness, abandonment concerns, and rebuilding healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and life demands. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm what session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use techniques such as mindfulness practice, values-based exercises, or behavior experiments between sessions to support steady progress.
