About Laurel

Laurel Boyer is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience helping adults through significant life transitions and emotional challenges. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and grief while also addressing relationship and family concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem difficulties.

Background and approach

Her background includes attention to young adult issues, women's concerns, social anxiety, and situations such as divorce, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and seasonal mood changes. Her style emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that centers the client's personal story and strengths.

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside client-centered and existential frameworks to help people explore internal parts, clarify values, and build practical coping skills. Hypnotherapy and Jungian perspectives are additional resources she may weave in when appropriate.

Laurel aims for collaborative work that helps clients process guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress while developing resilience for future challenges. Prospective clients in Colorado can expect an empathic clinician who partners with them to identify goals, try strategies that fit their life, and adapt the therapeutic plan as needs change.

Integrating depth-oriented approaches with convenient online care

Laurel often draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients identify and work with internal parts - those inner voices and tendencies that influence emotion and behavior - which can be useful for trauma recovery, shame, and relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, prioritizing a respectful, empathic stance that helps people feel heard while they explore goals and build coping skills. In addition, elements of Existential Therapy may be used to address concerns about meaning, values, and life's transitions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to assess which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts the plan as therapy proceeds so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and choose the communication style that best supports ongoing progress with a licensed professional.
