About Laura

Laura Boettger is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with a decade of professional experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She centers her work on creating a nonjudgmental space where people who have left or are questioning high-control groups or relationships can explore complex emotions and begin to rebuild a sense of self. Her practice addresses trauma-related conditions including post-traumatic stress and dissociation, while also supporting challenges such as ADHD, self-esteem, and relationship and family concerns.

Her clinical toolkit includes Internal Family Systems, EMDR, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she tailors to each person’s needs. Laura blends approaches that range from non-directive, exploratory sessions to structured, skills-focused work depending on what a client needs in the moment.

She also helps people manage transitional periods in life, offering guidance to move through uncertainty and toward clearer purpose and direction. As a Florida LMHC, Laura emphasizes collaboration and practical planning alongside emotional processing.

Prospective clients can expect an ally who prioritizes safety, curiosity, and gradual steps toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Offered Online



Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to view internal thoughts and feelings as parts with distinct roles, helping individuals understand inner conflicts and cultivate self-leadership; this approach can be useful for navigating identity shifts and long-standing internal patterns. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated distress, often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional regulation, offering ways to heal attachment wounds and improve connection.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process; the therapist will explore a client’s history, goals, and preferences and may integrate elements from different approaches to fit what feels most helpful. Sessions may begin with open exploration and then shift toward more targeted interventions as clarity about goals develops.

Online therapy provides flexible options to fit busy schedules and differing needs, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging available. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care during life transitions and for those who need adaptable ways to communicate and practice new skills between sessions.
