01About Laura
Laura Brum is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting struggles, anger, OCD, ADHD, and the effects of past trauma or abuse. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy feel doable rather than overwhelming.
She uses practical methods to help people move forward. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, like behavior changes, new coping skills, or tracking patterns that keep problems active.
Background and approach
Laura mixes client-centered listening with goal-focused tools to match what each person needs. EMDR is part of her toolkit when past traumatic memories are causing distress. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
For people who struggle with strong emotions or impulsive reactions, she draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and mindful awareness. Her style aims to balance compassion with concrete guidance. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels while still giving direct feedback when it helps.
Sessions tend to be collaborative - the person and Laura set goals together and adjust plans as progress happens. Laura practices in Oregon and conducts work in English. She supports people coping with life transitions, grief, chronic health issues, sexuality and identity concerns, social anxiety, and career stress.
She encourages anyone ready to take a step toward change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling conversation.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactive behaviors, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for mood disorders and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make the work fit into everyday life. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and guided exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make it easier to use therapy consistently while fitting appointments around work, caregiving, and other demands.
