About Laura
Laura Chilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with five years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, depression, addiction recovery, grief, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family of origin issues, attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and blended family challenges.
Before becoming a counselor she worked in social services, as a life coach, and as a school counselor. That background informs a practical approach that focuses on patterns from the past and how they show up now. Sessions tend to look at how family roles, expectations, or communication habits shape current behavior and feelings.
Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and reactions, practice new ways of relating, and build skills for managing stress and strong emotions.
She uses straightforward conversation, skill-building, and reflective exercises rather than jargon. Goals and pacing are decided together, with attention to what fits each person’s life. Laura aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and make practical changes that reduce conflict and increase emotional stability.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Oklahoma. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It looks at patterns of closeness, fear of abandonment, and how those patterns affect adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practice specific changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is working and what is not, so the plan evolves through regular discussion.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when more convenient. It also makes consistent weekly practice and skills work more manageable for people balancing parenting, work, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals, including counselors using these approaches, can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on changing patterns.
