About Laura
Laura Husband is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience providing mental health care in community settings.
Background and approach
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, mood disorders, sleep problems, anger, grief, and issues related to identity and sexuality. Her practice also addresses concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment, communication, and caregiver-related difficulties.
Husband emphasizes a compassionate, person-centered stance and affirms LGBTQIA+ identities while maintaining a trauma-informed perspective. She leverages evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to tailor care.
Her approach blends practical skills training with relational work to help clients manage symptoms, improve coping, and pursue meaningful change. Husband holds Illinois and Kentucky LCSW credentials and brings a background supervising clinical work to each therapeutic partnership.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
The practice combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to address both the relationship of therapy and concrete symptom management. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, offering empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related challenges.Finding the right method is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs to determine whether relational work, skills training, or a blend of approaches makes the most sense, and will adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow for continued skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and access to support when in-person visits are not feasible, helping clients maintain consistency and momentum in their work.
