I bring nearly 20 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.
I know how overwhelming things can feel—and more importantly, I know how to help you move through it in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.
I bring 36 years of licensed experience to my work as a therapist and strive to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and easy to enter. I am direct, friendly, and open, and I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are - and are motivated to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges and life experiences, meeting each person wherever they are on their journey.
My practice includes treating anxiety, mood disorders, women’s issues, work-related stress, and supporting overall wellness. I believe our physical health is just as important as our mental health - so I encourage regular physical activity, good sleep hygiene and healthy nutrition and hydration. I also have specialization in working with adolescents and teens ages 16 and older. My focus is on supporting the whole person, with attention to both mental and physical well-being.
As a therapist, I take a client-centered, genuine, collaborative approach to the client’s needs and goals. I have over 19 years of experience with significant experience helping adult clients (18+) work through anxiety, mood disorders (depression/bipolar disorder), sexual addictions/offenses, trauma, grief/loss, men and women's issues, and general life stressors/transitions (work, relationships, parenting, etc).
Hello, my name is Laura Riness. I have a Ph.D in Psychology and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have worked in the mental health field for 7 years. I have most enjoyed getting to know my clients and working with them to create the most healthy version of themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Minnesota
Searching for therapists in Minnesota starts with finding care that fits your needs and location. Minnesota therapists support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. Available care can vary between urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on.
Whether you’re looking for therapy in Minnesota near Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, or a smaller community, logistics can shape which therapist is the right fit. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility with scheduling. As you compare Minnesota therapists, review appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their style in their bio. Profiles can help you understand what sessions may feel like before you book.
The cost of mental health care in Minnesota varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists in Minnesota who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, making it easier to browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
