Laura Gannon, LCSW

Laura Gannon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She supports clients facing family conflict and those trying to find motivation or confidence. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward, aimed at people who are ready to take a first step toward change.

In sessions she focuses on listening first and making space for honest conversation. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence that encourages clear goals and practical next steps. She emphasizes small, achievable changes rather than overwhelming plans.

Laura uses approaches that include client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, among others, to match what a person needs. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help with readiness for change and to set focused goals. Trauma-informed ideas are available when past experiences are affecting present life.

Her work draws on 14 years of professional experience in clinical settings across Florida. That background includes supporting people with addictions and substance concerns as well as a range of mood and life-stage issues such as midlife challenges and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to balance emotional support with concrete tools for daily life.

People who choose to work with Laura can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. She helps clients set manageable steps, track progress, and adjust plans as needed while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches for online support and change

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Motivational interviewing helps people sort out their readiness for change and find personal reasons to move toward healthier choices, which can be useful with addictions and other tough decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This means techniques can shift over time if something else would help more.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering more flexible scheduling. For people balancing caregiving, work, or health concerns, these practical benefits can help maintain steady progress without major schedule disruption.
