Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Laura L. Sternberg MA, EdS, LPC, NCC, EMDR
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. I have worked in many different capacities in mental health for about 25 years ranging from case management, Ombudsmanship as a military spouse, mentoring, psychoeducation, community counseling, crisis, and private practice. This experience has allowed me to work with a wide range of people from different walks of life, different communities, and different cultures.
My experience ranges from working with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and women’s issues. Populations I specialize in are First Responders, Active Duty Military, Reserves, Military Spouses, Veterans, geriatric population, and caregivers.
My counseling style is empathetic, warm, and interactive. I believe everyone should be treated with empathy, genuineness, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe in meeting people where they are in their journey. My approach utilizes existential therapy, humanistic therapy, emotion focused therapy, and EMDR therapy to best assist you in addressing your needs. We will work together as a team to tailor sessions and treatments.
Taking the steps toward healing is not always easy. Let’s walk through this together.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. You can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits you best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed therapists provide the same professional care remotely, and if a different fit is needed, you can switch therapists at any time. This approach often makes ongoing support more accessible while preserving the core therapeutic elements that help people address their concerns.
