About Me
I’m Laura McLaughlin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Hello! I’m Laura McLaughlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I have two Master’s degrees from Florida State University—one in Human and Counseling Systems and one in Social Work. With 20 years of experience in the field, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults. However, as it has been some time since I worked with younger clients, I now focus exclusively on helping adults. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief/loss, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and relationship issues.
My passion for Social Work stems from my commitment to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those facing emotional and mental health challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences with the support they need to grow. Whether you’re navigating difficult emotions or seeking to improve your relationships, I tailor my approach to your unique needs, helping you achieve lasting healing and personal empowerment.
My Approach
In my practice, I use evidence-based therapies tailored to fit each client’s specific needs. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) because it’s highly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and stress. By helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, CBT allows for noticeable improvements in a relatively short time.
I also integrate Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how past experiences, such as early relationships or unresolved conflicts, influence current behavior. This deeper understanding helps clients make lasting changes in their personal lives and relationships. My approach combines practical tools and self-awareness to foster meaningful growth and long-term well-being.
