Laura Tanner, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Laura!

I support individuals navigating life's most challenging moments. I work with people facing or recovering from cancer, caregivers, and those struggling with trauma, anxiety, and life adjustments. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered through difficult transitions.

My focus

I work with clients facing challenging life stressors such as cancer, caregiving, trauma, anxiety, and adjustment to life after changes. This includes young adults entering the workforce, navigating divorce, providing care for loved ones, and adjusting to life after a cancer diagnosis.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is not one size fits all. I tailor each session to who you are as a person, ensuring therapy feels authentic, supportive, and meaningful to you. I use a relational approach with emphasis on strength and positivity, building strong connections in a safe and compassionate space.

My communication style

I provide a warm, casual, safe space for you to work through life challenges. You can expect genuine connection, compassion, and a judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable being yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into oncology social work began years ago when a close family member was diagnosed with cancer. During that time, my family was connected with a hospice social worker whose compassion and guidance left a lasting impact on me. That experience solidified my passion for this field.

My goals for you

Goal setting is discussed from the start. I want to know your hopes for therapy and how you want to feel accomplishing those goals. We'll work together to create a path that feels meaningful and achievable for you.

Our first session

Our first session is dedicated to getting to know you and ensuring the vibes are right. We'll discuss your goals and hopes for the future, and I'll make sure you feel safe and heard. This is your space to share what brings you to therapy and what you need.
