About Laura

Laura Herp is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. She meets clients with respect and calm. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at small steps that add up over time.

She listens first and adapts therapy to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on tools that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Laura uses mindfulness practices to help manage overwhelming feelings and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves. Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented. Clients work on coping strategies, emotional regulation, and rebuilding routines after setbacks.

She also addresses relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue when these come up. Therapy moves at a pace set by the client. Laura partners with people to set clear, achievable goals and checks in often about progress.

Her style balances practical skills with gentle curiosity about how past hurts affect current choices. Taking the first step can feel hard. Laura aims to make the process understandable and manageable so people can try changes one day at a time.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and calm the body. It helps when anxiety, racing thoughts, or strong reactions make daily tasks harder. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person - like the worried part or the critical part - and helps them talk to each other more kindly. That approach can help with trauma responses, self-criticism, and struggles with addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, brief exercises, and steady contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using mindfulness and parts-focused work effectively.
