Remote clinical approach
Laura Powers integrates several structured approaches in remote sessions to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clients in clarifying personal values and taking committed steps aligned with those values while practicing acceptance of difficult internal experiences.
Sessions are collaborative and person centered. She works with each individual to set goals, select techniques that fit their needs, and build skills over time. Mindfulness practices and elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy may be introduced to increase emotional awareness and improve relationship patterns when relevant.
Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to provide continuity of care and to match the mode of communication that best supports the person’s therapeutic goals.
