About Laura

Laura Standley is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Laura also supports individuals facing family and parenting challenges, and those dealing with trauma or relationship tensions.

She has worked in both outpatient counseling and inpatient hospital settings, so she understands different kinds of care environments. Sessions focus on open conversation where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgment. Laura emphasizes straightforward, practical steps people can try between meetings.

In the room she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps clients try new ways of reacting and communicating. Work may include building confidence, managing strong emotions, and improving day-to-day routines that affect mood and stress.

Laura brings particular attention to adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and challenges around blended families. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, impulsivity, jealousy, and mood disorders.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. She encourages small, measurable changes and checks in about what is working. The aim is to help people feel more capable and more connected to their lives.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful habits and build confidence. One common method helps clients spot and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low self-esteem, breaking those cycles with manageable exercises. Another approach focuses on emotion regulation and practical strategies for managing strong feelings, which can help with mood swings, impulsivity, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. This means checking in over time and adjusting methods when something isn’t helping.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also support shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or conversations that focus on skill-building and problem solving without reorganizing your day.
