About Laura

Laura Roland is an LPC, LMHC with 22 years of clinical experience who blends Internal Family Systems with pragmatic therapeutic methods to help clients address core emotional patterns.

Background and approach

She focuses on uncovering underlying parts and relationship dynamics that keep people stuck, pairing that internal work with tools drawn from attachment-informed and skills-based therapies. Her approach is candid and compassionate, offering concrete practices such as worksheets, homework, and weekly challenges to support steady progress.

Her practice concentrates on a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, codependency and boundary issues, chronic pain and illness, grief and complicated loss, intimacy-related struggles, and career or identity transitions. She also works with issues like attachment wounds, family-of-origin problems, fertility and miscarriage grief, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions emphasize nervous system regulation, emotional regulation skills, and addressing toxic family patterns while helping clients build more stable coping strategies. Laura offers video, phone, chat, and text-based sessions from Florida and presents a direct but nurturing therapeutic stance that asks clients to engage actively in change.

Prospective clients are invited to take an initial matching step and arrange sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches in online care

Laura Roland uses Internal Family Systems to help people identify and relate to the multiple parts inside them, which can clarify sources of self-criticism, anxiety, or relationship patterns and create a foundation for lasting change. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work, focusing on how early relational patterns shape present-day connections and supporting clients in building safer, more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance, prioritizing a respectful, empathetic environment where individual goals and values guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's needs, preferences, and goals and adapt methods over time so therapy feels tailored rather than prescriptive. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback about what helps and what does not so the treatment plan evolves with their experience.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for people balancing work, health, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats allow clients to access consistent support and to practice skills between meetings with written prompts, worksheets, and weekly challenges that complement the online therapeutic work.
