About Laura
Laura Herp is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and related life challenges. Her approach is warm and respectful, focused on tailoring care to each person’s needs.
She emphasizes compassion and practical steps so people can move forward. Her sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens for what matters most and helps set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness practices to help calm racing thoughts and improve attention. She also brings Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves that influence behavior. Laura adapts how she works to match each person’s pace.
For some people that means short practical tools to manage stress. For others it means deeper work around trauma, grief, or patterns that cause pain. She explains options plainly and checks in regularly to see what is or isn’t helping.
Clients can expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence and concrete strategies to try between sessions. She helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career worries, and coping with life changes. Her aim is to support progress that fits each person’s life.
People who prefer to work remotely can meet by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Laura will help choose formats and techniques that fit individual needs and daily routines.
How mindfulness and parts work translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts, breath, and body sensations. These practices can help lower anxiety, improve focus, and make it easier to act on choices rather than react. Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person - for example anxious parts, critical parts, or protective parts - and helps people understand their roles and relate to them with less judgment.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what the person finds helpful. That shared exploration helps match mindfulness practices or parts work to real-life challenges like ADHD, trauma, or mood shifts.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for guided exercises and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be a quick way to check in between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to work around schedules, travel constraints, and daily responsibilities while staying consistent with therapeutic work.
