About Laura

Laura Boettger is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical support for adults who feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed. Laura aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

With ten years of experience, she focuses on people leaving or recovering from high-control groups or relationships and on those managing post-traumatic stress and complex trauma.

Background and approach

She also supports individuals facing transitions that leave them unsure of their identity or direction. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, whether they want a gentle, open conversation or more structured tools. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite how they understand their stories.

Attachment-based ideas are used to address how relationships shape feelings and coping. Laura also uses client-centered techniques to keep the person’s priorities central, along with dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and EMDR for trauma-related processing. In sessions she helps people name painful patterns, sort through confusing emotions, and build small, clear steps forward.

She pays attention to dissociation, shame, and isolation, and helps clients reconnect with their priorities and sense of self. People who choose Laura can expect straightforward language and collaborative planning. She emphasizes practical strategies alongside meaning-making, so clients leave with both insight and doable next steps.

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.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Laura directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and trauma approaches work online

Laura often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful life stories and separate themselves from difficult events. This approach helps when past experiences - like life in a high-control group or relationship - keep influencing daily choices and identity. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feeling states and coping habits. That work can reduce isolation and improve how someone relates to others. Laura pairs these with client-centered care, keeping each session focused on the person’s priorities and pace. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress unfolds. Clients help decide whether they want conversation-based exploration, skills practice, or targeted trauma work. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face interaction for deep conversations. Phone sessions and live chat can be lower bandwidth or work better when someone prefers not to use a camera. Text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter reflections between sessions. Together these options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person’s schedule and comfort.
