About
Laura Philpott is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State who holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling and addiction. She brings nine years of clinical experience and has spent the last six years concentrating on co-occurring addiction and trauma disorders.
She works with veterans and civilians facing PTSD and uses evidence-based therapies alongside Motivational Interviewing to help process barriers to change and support recovery.
Laura meets people where they are, helping them pursue their goals through compassion, education, and a non-judgmental environment for examining past and present experiences. She welcomes family involvement when the client is comfortable with that level of engagement.
For Laura, providing therapy is a privilege; she aims to create a safe space where clients can explore, learn, and grow in the direction they choose. Her approach is not to tell anyone how to live but to reflect on the ways thoughts and emotions influence daily life.
Clients may notice that Laura wears dark glasses during video sessions to manage a chronic sensitivity to light - she cannot display them in her profile photo but does wear them during virtual meetings. Laura currently lives in Japan, and because of the time difference she has limited scheduling options for clients based in Washington.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people ask whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be similarly effective to traditional in-person sessions.
One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and if a different fit is desired clients can switch therapists at any time.
