Laura Moore, LCMHC

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She invites clients to see themselves as the author of their own story and to build on their strengths. Taking a first step toward change can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Her approach blends practical therapies with attentive listening. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and choose actions that reflect their values. Client-Centered Therapy guides the work by keeping the conversation focused on each person's concerns and goals.

Laura has helped people with anger, self-esteem, motivation, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, and career transitions. She also has experience with trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and family-related stress. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic health problems, and relationship commitment questions.

Sessions are framed around clear, doable steps. Conversations tend to focus on identifying what matters to the client, testing small changes, and building skills that support daily life. Laura emphasizes practical tools and simple experiments that people can try between sessions.

She practices in North Carolina and speaks English. International clients are accepted through the available intake process. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood; it works well for sleep, eating, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the client's experience, using empathic listening to help people find their own solutions and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the clinician decide together which strategies feel most helpful and realistic for day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to meet without traveling. Exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options when booking. Online work can make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into session discussions.
