About Laura
Laura Hank is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship problems, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. She works with adults and adolescents, offering a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can begin to make sense of difficult feelings and day-to-day struggles. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
In sessions she focuses on building skills and awareness that fit each person's life. That can mean learning ways to manage anxiety, finding clearer patterns in mood and behavior, or developing new tools for parenting and family tensions. She uses client-centered conversations to help people feel heard and to set goals that matter to them.
Laura draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Mindfulness strategies are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused methods help people identify what is already working and build on those strengths.
Her background includes work in schools, telehealth, and community outpatient settings across Pennsylvania. She aims to create sessions that are collaborative and tailored to the client’s pace. Many clients appreciate the straightforward tone and skill-building focus she brings to therapy.
If you want practical steps for coping with parenting stress, improving self-esteem, or managing ADHD-related challenges, she helps set clear, achievable goals and supports people as they work toward them.
How these approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel understood and to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as sessions progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a break. It can also let someone choose whether they prefer video or other formats if those are offered. The focus remains on practical problem solving, building coping skills, and applying strategies between sessions so progress carries into everyday life.
