About Laura
Laura Nagy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She holds a master's degree in Agency Counseling and has worked in mental health since 1995. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and issues related to family and parenting.
She works in a client-centered, solution-focused way. That means clients set goals and she helps plan steps to reach them. She often gives straightforward between-session tasks so progress can continue outside appointments.
Her background includes crisis counseling and work with PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, and first responder issues. She has treated people struggling with addictions, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, and major life changes. She has also used Equine-Assisted Therapy as part of her practice.
Laura emphasizes drawing on a person’s strengths and support network. She talks through what practical tools might help and encourages building supports that fit everyday life. She focuses on communication problems, commitment and abandonment concerns, and midlife or career transitions.
Guilt and shame are listed among the specific concerns she helps people with, alongside forgiveness and family of origin issues. Her approach aims to clarify goals, try concrete strategies, and review progress so people can make steady steps forward.
Laura lives in Michigan with her husband and daughter and conducts her counseling work from that base. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can steer the pace and direction. It helps when someone wants to sort through their feelings and decide on specific next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and between-session tasks to change patterns that keep stress or anxiety going, which can be useful for guilt, worry, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before, then try approaches that fit those needs and adjust over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and let people do therapy without travel time. It also makes homework review and session follow-ups simpler to manage alongside daily life.
