About Laura
Laura Tellez is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on more than 12 years of practice in Texas. Laura aims to make the first step less daunting by offering steady support and clear steps forward.
She keeps conversations respectful and direct. Sessions focus on what is most troubling right now and on practical ways to feel steadier. She tailors each plan to match a person’s needs and goals instead of using one fixed approach.
Laura uses methods that are rooted in understanding the person first. She works in a client-centered manner, and also draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques are included to help calm the body and mind when anxiety or panic arises.
She also brings solution-focused and trauma-informed tools when past hurt or acute events shape current struggles. Those tools are used to build safety, increase skills, and set manageable steps toward recovery.
People who reach out can expect straightforward language and a collaborative tone. Laura supports each client in setting realistic goals and trying approaches that fit their daily life. She encourages questions and checks in about progress as therapy moves forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist centers your experience, helps you name what matters most, and adjusts the pace and topics to match your needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses, which can help with panic, anxiety, and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to calm the body and ground attention in the present moment. These techniques are often used when anxiety spikes or when stress feels overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, daily routine, and comfort level, checking in and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during stressful periods. They also allow shorter or longer sessions as needed so therapy can adapt to practical life demands.
