About Laura

Laura Roland is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping adults address relationship and emotional patterns. She brings 22 years of experience as an LPC and LMHC in Florida.

Background and approach

Her approach is direct but warm, aimed at practical change rather than quick fixes. She uses several well-known methods to guide sessions, including the Gottman Method to look at relationship dynamics, attachment-based ideas to understand early patterns, and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions include worksheets, short assignments, and weekly challenges to reinforce learning. Common concerns she works with include anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with life changes.

She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar concerns, chronic pain or illness, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include boundaries, codependency, fertility and pregnancy loss, and caregiver stress.

Her style is honest, caring, and straightforward. She expects clients to be willing to do the work and stays involved through each step of the process.

Laura offers individual sessions only and works with adults rather than younger clients. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Gottman and Attachment-Informed Work Translate Online

Gottman-informed work looks at how people interact and communicate, then teaches concrete skills to reduce conflict and increase understanding. Attachment-based approaches focus on early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people recognize triggers and build healthier responses. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead to set goals and guide each session.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest techniques that suit those priorities. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief coaching, check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between meetings.
