About Laura
Laura Cartwright is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on practical, evidence-based work to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, addictions, and ADHD. Her style is direct and respectful, with an emphasis on clear goals and steady progress.
She keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. Conversations and plans are tailored to individual needs and life circumstances.
Background and approach
She aims to help people build skills they can use day to day, such as emotion regulation, problem-solving, and better communication. With 13 years of experience, Laura has worked across clinical settings and with a range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and grief. That background informs how she prioritizes safety and stability while working toward change.
She also addresses issues around identity and relationship styles, including LGBT-related concerns and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. People often come for help with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, or family of origin issues. Laura also supports clients facing codependency, guilt and shame, and problems with communication.
She frames change as a series of small, practical steps rather than sudden fixes. She offers sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, users complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Laura uses readily tested therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills people can use in daily life. One common approach she applies helps people learn to manage intense emotions and regain stability through step-by-step coping tools. This kind of work is useful for anxiety, mood swings, and stress reactions.Another approach centers on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and real-world practice. That method is helpful for depression, low self-esteem, and habits tied to addiction or codependency. Both approaches emphasize measurable progress and homework between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on results and comfort.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for quick updates, brief skill coaching, or when someone prefers messaging over calls.
