Laura McCormick
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I received my Masters in Social Work from Radford University and have been practicing since 2020. I help adults struggling with everyday life stressors, depression, anxiety, and many other mental health needs.
Having worked in outpatient therapy for 5 years, I am well versed in helping client's identify the root cause of their challenges and work with them in following progressive treatment methods.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, reading, and being a dog mom to my corgi, Margot.
First session
In our first session together, we will begin building rapport, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.

Ideal clients
My clients are eager to improve and looking for the tools necessary to achieve their goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT, I will help the client in identifying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, dissecting irrational thoughts, and help in reframing to make the dysfunctional thoughts more accurate.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Using DBT, I will guide the client in how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Using ACT, I will guide the client in helping to stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Using Mindfulness-Based Therapy, I will help the client learn to focus on being aware of what they are sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Using Person Centered therapy, I will provide the client space to engage in talk therapy, without judgement or interpretation, and help guide them in understanding their thoughts and feelings.
