About Laura
Laura Lee Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of practice in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, addiction issues, and trauma.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Laura aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and not overwhelming.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work with adults dealing with family conflict, coping with life transitions, and issues tied to identity and sexuality. That experience informs how she frames goals and plans small, realistic steps people can try between sessions. Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to what the person needs in the moment.
She listens closely, helps organize priorities, and teaches specific tools for managing symptoms like worry, sleeplessness, or anger. People who come to her for relationship or parenting strain often leave with clearer communication steps and routines they can try at home. Someone coping with loss or trauma will get paced support and skills to reduce overwhelm.
Her work emphasizes steady progress and practical changes that fit daily life.
How practical therapy methods translate to online care
Evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. These methods teach concrete tools for managing worry, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD-related concentration challenges in day-to-day life. Skills-based coping strategies emphasize small routines and step-by-step plans. These techniques help with problem solving, organizing tasks, and building habits that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new challenges appear. Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, timely support and let people share thoughts between sessions. Together these options offer flexibility and continuity. They let people practice skills in real time and bring questions to sessions as they arise, making it simpler to apply therapy to everyday situations.Questions people ask
