Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online
Laura Hawkins draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help adults make practical changes in how they cope, relate, and respond under stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing alternatives, which can be especially useful for anxiety, overthinking, and feeling stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and communicating more effectively, which can support people navigating relationship stress and emotional overwhelm. She also incorporates attachment-focused work to explore how early and ongoing relationship experiences can shape current patterns, helping clients better understand needs, boundaries, and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and tailor sessions to personal preferences. As therapy progresses, she can adjust the focus to better match what the client needs most in the moment and over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay engaged in the work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and access therapy from a comfortable, convenient location.
