About Laura
Laura Sternberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life changes. She uses a patient, down-to-earth style so people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Laura helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and burnout.
She also supports those dealing with addiction, bipolar challenges, and career stress. With eight years of experience, Laura blends practical methods and thoughtful conversation. She listens for the values and choices that matter to each person.
Background and approach
That helps guide sessions toward clearer decisions and more manageable steps. Clients can expect straightforward tools for coping and relief from daily pressure. Existential therapy is part of her approach, helping people reflect on meaning, responsibility, and the choices they face.
She also draws on trauma-focused work and mindfulness to reduce distress and improve emotional regulation. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual rather than fitting someone into a single method. Laura works with a broad range of concerns, including family-of-origin issues, attachment wounds, intimacy-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to the real-life impacts of caregiving, aging, and first responder stress. The pace and topics of therapy are set by each person’s needs. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online support
How different approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice, and what matters most in their lives. Online, this looks like guided conversations about priorities, values, and decisions that feel stuck. EMDR is used to address traumatic memories through structured processing that can reduce distress and painful reactions; it is adapted for remote sessions with careful pacing and clear guidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, and then suggest options or a mix of approaches. Clients and the therapist check in over time and adjust methods if something isn’t working as expected.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial expressions and body language during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing, want frequent brief check-ins, or need flexibility around work and caregiving schedules.
