Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care

Laura Schwades uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, self-esteem, and depression. In practice, evidence-based therapy means using structured, research-informed strategies that can help people understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then build skills to respond in more helpful ways. This can be especially useful when anxiety feels overwhelming or when motivation and confidence are hard to access.

She also draws on skills that support anger management and emotional regulation, helping clients slow down reactions, recognize triggers, and practice alternative ways of coping. For those impacted by trauma or abuse, therapy can focus on making sense of what happened, reducing the intensity of lingering stress responses, and strengthening day-to-day stability at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what has or has not helped in the past, and shape sessions around individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between sessions.
