About Laura

Laura Hattrup welcomes people who feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. She writes in a direct, calm way and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Laura uses a warm, respectful style to help people see their own strengths and take the next steps toward feeling better.

Laura has worked in social work for 16 years and holds KS LSCSW and MO LCSW credentials, which reflect her background as a licensed clinical social worker.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on listening first and then helping each person build tools that fit their life. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with room to talk through hard feelings. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.

She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, anger, career crossroads, and major life changes. Additional focuses include ADHD, compassion fatigue, money and financial issues, and women’s concerns. In therapy Laura blends practical methods with compassionate listening.

She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness practices to build calm and focus. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable steps. Sessions are aimed at helping people develop skills they can use outside the therapy hour.

Laura emphasizes small, manageable changes, steady progress, and building on existing strengths so people can move toward a more stable, satisfying life.

Online support

Practical approaches suited for online care

Laura often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear steps to try between sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the therapist follows the client’s lead and focuses on what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she draws on to build attention, reduce reactivity, and improve emotional regulation in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients help decide what feels most useful and practical for their situation, and changes are made collaboratively over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work even when routines change.
