Welcome! I see clients in Illinois and Connecticut.

Therapy starts with a supportive relationship to best understand and support the goals of each client.

I see a range of clients and issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, medical issues, caregiver stress and life transitions. I worked in oncology for over a dozen years, and also specialize in cancer support and survivorship for patients and families. And I welcome clients who want to incorporate their faith and spirituality into their counseling.

Laura Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Twenty-five years in this field — across inpatient units, outpatient programs, and private practice — means I've sat with people in virtually every kind of difficulty. That depth of experience shapes how I show up: grounded, unhurried, and genuinely confident that change is possible, even when it doesn't feel that way yet.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, ADD/ADHD, stress, and major life transitions. I bring both clinical rigor and real human warmth to the work — because neither alone is enough.

I trained at Hunter College School of Social Work and have built my practice around one belief: that insight without practical tools doesn't get people very far, and tools without insight don't stick. We'll work on both.
