Approaches and Online Therapy with Laura Hattrup

Laura Hattrup integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping clients explore their goals and values while feeling understood - it is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation, which can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a client’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to therapy. That partnership guides which techniques are emphasized over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from familiar settings while working with licensed therapists who tailor the experience to each person’s situation.
