About Laura
Laura Wagner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 32 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. Laura also pays attention to problems with communication, feelings of isolation, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. She helps people name what is most concerning and decide on small, practical next steps.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice using a mix of approaches. That gives her a range of tools to draw from when people are coping with depression, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma. She also uses methods that support motivation and clearer decision making when substance use or habits are involved.
In sessions she encourages people to notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and to try concrete experiments between meetings. She pays attention to communication habits that feed isolation and to ways people can reconnect with values and life purpose. Progress is framed as testing small changes rather than aiming for a single big shift.
Laura favors direct conversation about what is getting in the way of everyday life. She asks practical questions, offers cognitive and solution-focused techniques, and also brings psychodynamic ideas about how past relationships influence current choices. The result is an approach that balances immediate problem solving with deeper reflection.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood so they can decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related planning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people sort through mixed feelings about change and build readiness to try new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and help choose what fits your goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as different problems come into focus.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets therapists and clients use CBT tools, motivational techniques, and client-centered conversation in regular appointments so progress can be worked on between meetings.
