About Laura
Laura Chilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients coping with trauma and loss, addiction recovery, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Laura uses straightforward, respectful language and works to make therapy feel practical and approachable.
Before earning her LPC, Laura worked in social services, as a life coach, and as a school counselor. She completed a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling and met the requirements of the National Counselor Examination along with 3,000 supervised clinical hours. Those roles shaped her interest in long-term, meaningful change for clients.
Laura draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build collaborative, strengths-focused conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy offer tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior, while mindfulness practices help with grounding and stress reduction.
Her work includes additional focuses such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, blended family matters, chronic illness, and communication problems. Sessions aim to translate insight into simple steps clients can try between meetings.
Laura’s style is practical and compassionate. She tailors goals to each person and emphasizes small, concrete changes. Choosing to start therapy is often a first hard step, and she frames her role as a supportive partner through that process.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people notice connection and attachment habits that affect current relationships and parenting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building goals together, which can help people feel understood and more able to try small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a shared effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process may blend approaches over time as progress and practical needs emerge.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose options that need less bandwidth if video is difficult. Because the therapist’s biography does not list session formats explicitly, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking to know what will work best for scheduling and comfort.
