Laura Marshall, LCSW

Laura Marshall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 15 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She works directly with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and struggles with self-esteem and coping skills.

Her approach blends practical therapies that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills and emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goal setting, and Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses traumatic stress when needed.

Laura helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better and then practices new ways of responding. Sessions often include skill-building, clear goals, and tools people can use between meetings. The work aims to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning in real situations.

She has worked in clinical settings for many years and draws on that experience to tailor care to each person. Laura emphasizes collaboration and clear steps, so progress feels manageable. She supports people navigating parenting stress, relationship difficulties, body image, addiction concerns, grief and major life changes.

People meet Laura to address issues like ADHD, social anxiety, self-harm, eating concerns, substance use, and post-traumatic stress. She speaks English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

How targeted approaches work in online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and gives practical tools to test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and mood challenges.

DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. People often use these tools when stress, anger, or relationship conflict feels overwhelming.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change. It uses conversation to clarify values and build motivation for healthier choices, which is useful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That means checking in, adjusting strategies, and setting clear, realistic steps together.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and letting people join from wherever they are that offers quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these same therapeutic methods effectively across in-person and remote meetings when the approach fits the person’s needs.
