About Laura
Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She practices a client-centered, solution-focused approach and frames therapy around each person’s goals. Laura aims to help people build practical tools and strengthen their existing supports.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas when useful, tailoring methods to what the client needs. Sessions often include short assignments to practice skills between meetings.
Background and approach
Those exercises are meant to make progress more tangible and to keep momentum between sessions. Laura has longstanding experience addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also works with common life challenges such as relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, career transitions, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Trauma and abuse, PTSD, and issues connected to family of origin or blended families are also within her practice focus. Her background includes crisis counseling and work with suicidal ideation, and she brings a strengths-based perspective to difficult moments. Laura emphasizes the courage it takes to seek help and helps people identify and use their natural supports.
She has also practiced Equine-Assisted Therapy in past roles. In sessions she encourages clients to set their own goals and collaborates on plans to reach them. The intent is to equip people with a clear set of tools they can use outside therapy.
Laura describes her role as supportive, practical, and focused on steady, achievable change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective, listening closely and guiding conversations around the goals people set. This approach is helpful for those who want a collaborative space to clarify values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses targeted exercises to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Laura will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels workable. That collaborative process helps choose whether to emphasize skill practice, insight work, or a mix of both.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and mimic an in-person meeting, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging are useful for ongoing brief support or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress and consistent skill building.
