Remote sessions with structured, skills-focused therapy
Laura Hawkins offers online care that combines practical skill building with reflective work. She integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and shift thinking patterns and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy elements to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Attachment-focused techniques are used to explore how early relational patterns influence current relationships and coping styles.
Sessions are collaborative and structured, with an emphasis on developing tools clients can use between meetings. Laura frames work as a partnership: together they clarify goals, track progress, and practice concrete strategies tailored to the client’s situation. This approach suits people who want both insight and actionable steps.
Remote appointments are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow flexibility in how people engage while maintaining the same therapeutic focus on skills, patterns, and relationship dynamics.
