Laura Pack, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Laura!

I work with adults and youth navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, and family systems impacted by addiction. My goal is to create a safe space where you can process your experiences and draw from your inner strengths to make meaningful changes in your life.

My focus

I work with older youth and young adults facing anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and traumatic experiences. I'm open to supporting clients with a range of concerns who are ready to explore their strengths and work toward positive change.

My approach

I take a person-centered approach, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. I provide a safe space to process thoughts and feelings while drawing from your strengths. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you break down thought patterns and shift negative cycles, creating different behaviors and outcomes.

My communication style

I communicate in a way that helps you feel comfortable, safe, and supported. My goal is to create an environment where you can speak freely and feel heard without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to mental health because support wasn't always available around me. I became a counselor to support those who have experienced trauma, addiction, and adverse life experiences. Every client deserves to live fully, not bound by their mental health.

My goals for you

Goal setting isn't one-size-fits-all. You'll help create your own goals in session because they're for you, not for me. Your goals will motivate and support you as we work together toward the changes you want to see.

Our first session

In our first session, I want you to feel comfortable expressing why you've sought therapy and what you're looking for. We'll discuss your goals for treatment together. You should feel free to speak openly and determine if I'm the right fit for you.
