About Laura
Laura Standley is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Parents and caregivers often seek her out for family and parenting concerns and for help with communication and relationship strain.
Laura has worked in both outpatient counseling and inpatient hospital settings. She focuses on making the therapy space feel open and nonjudgmental so people can talk honestly about what is hard. Sessions center on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than long lectures.
She offers support for issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and blended family challenges. Other areas she addresses include codependency, impulse control, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and problems that affect daily functioning.
Laura aims to help clients build confidence and motivation while improving how they handle stress and relationships. She listens for patterns that get in the way and works with each person to try new ways of responding. Progress often comes from small, sustainable changes practiced between sessions.
If someone is ready to begin, Laura guides them through a short matching process to find a schedule that fits. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and appointments are set according to the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on learning new ways to cope and improving daily functioning. One common approach helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations to reduce anxiety and low mood; this method teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors. Another approach centers on building stronger relationships and attachment by identifying interaction patterns and practicing clearer communication and boundaries to ease family and parenting strain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and daily demands, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and realistic for the client’s life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats Laura currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet from whichever location best supports a focused conversation, making regular work on goals more practical for everyday life.
