About
Laura Akins is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas (TX LPC 63236) with 34 years of experience supporting people through emotional and relational challenges. Her approach to counseling is relaxed and conversational - one person listening and sharing with another - emphasizing simple principles that help create greater peace and fulfillment in life.
Her graduate research focused on spiritual development, and she brings that background into therapy to help clients explore spiritual options for addressing physical and emotional difficulties, regardless of their personal religious beliefs. Because of victories and tragedies in her own life, she is able to relate to the hardships others face and to offer empathic understanding grounded in long experience.
Most of her career has been devoted to helping people heal from emotional issues, relationship problems, and questions about life purpose. She relates to others based on the content of their character rather than gender, race, politics, or creed, reflecting the principle expressed by Dr. ML King.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their needs, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
Each therapist available online is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would better meet their needs. For many people, online therapy provides an effective and adaptable way to address everyday mental health concerns.
