Therapeutic approaches and online care

Laura Angers Maddox integrates evidence-informed methods to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic experiences, often through structured interventions that reduce trauma-related distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens, validates, and helps clients explore their goals and values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques over time so the therapeutic plan fits each person’s situation and pace.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, limited local options, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care, and try different communication styles until the best fit is found.
