Laura Marshall , LCSW

Laura Marshall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University and a Master of Social Work from Barry University. The LCSW credential indicates her role as a licensed clinical social worker who delivers professional therapeutic services in Florida.

Her practice emphasizes work with teens and young adults, particularly those facing depression, anxiety, and trauma. She has experience across a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, eating and body image issues, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include post-traumatic stress, self-harm, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and substance-related problems.

Clinically, she commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Her approach centers on helping people recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building practical coping skills. Laura maintains a hopeful, growth-oriented stance and partners with clients to set goals, challenge harmful patterns, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Laura Marshall commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences while fostering safety and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura partners with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques and strategies so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients connect with licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, making it easier to maintain consistency, access timely support, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
