Laura Bollin

Laura Bollin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) who helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She approaches each person with calm listening, practical tools, and a nonjudgmental presence. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.

She draws on 14 years of clinical experience in counseling, hospice, and hospital settings. That background informs how she talks about end-of-life concerns and bereavement without making promises about outcomes. Sessions often focus on coping strategies, problem-solving, and rebuilding daily routines after loss or major transitions.

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters most and to support small, manageable change. She integrates practical tools with faith-informed values when clients wish to include that perspective.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, listening, and homework-like practices to try between meetings. She pays attention to compassion fatigue and workplace stress, and she supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, and questions of life purpose.

Outside of clinical work she identifies as a spouse, Christian, ally, outdoors person, animal lover, and avid reader. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first visit based on therapist availability.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses simple exercises and short homework tasks to change how daily routines and reactions unfold. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify what they value and build small steps toward that change.

Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist will check in regularly to see what is most helpful.

The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online formats can make brief check-ins simpler and allow follow-up conversations without rearranging a whole day. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to learn which formats are offered and to pick what fits your schedule.
