About Laura
Laura Tellez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, and isolation.
Laura uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people clarify what matters next. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She adapts conversations to each person's situation and prefers approaches that produce observable changes in daily life.
Her method draws on client-centered work that keeps the person's priorities central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered when people want ways to calm their attention and reduce reactivity.
For people who have experienced trauma, she integrates trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories and reactions. Solution-focused methods are used when a client wants short-term planning and specific next steps. The overall approach balances talking through patterns with practicing new ways of acting.
Laura speaks both English and Spanish during sessions. She is based in Texas and works with adults who want practical help moving forward after changes in work, relationships, or health. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and perspectives. Online sessions using this approach are largely conversational, helping people name what matters and choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses brief exercises to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking. These skills can be practiced between online sessions and reviewed together. Trauma-focused therapy helps address painful memories and reactions with structured techniques to reduce their hold on daily life; online sessions offer a place to process those memories while pacing the work to the person's needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted as priorities change, and strategies are chosen to match the client's situation and pace.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practicing skills between meetings and reviewing progress with a licensed professional who speaks English and Spanish.
