Laura Standley, LCPC

Laura Standley is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem. She also supports those managing family and parenting concerns and works with people dealing with jealousy and related relationship struggles.

Laura has worked in both outpatient counseling and inpatient hospital settings. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what feels hard. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as clearer ways to understand recurring patterns.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Laura listens first, then helps set goals and makes a plan that fits daily life. She encourages small, achievable changes and checks progress together so adjustments can be made when needed.

Clients can expect calm, direct conversation and a focus on real-world solutions. Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, stress, and family dynamics. She pays attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term shifts in how people relate to themselves and others.

Laura practices in Montana and works in English. She supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome related issues, blended family challenges, codependency, commitment or communication problems, DMDD, domestic violence histories, fatherhood issues, impulsivity, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching specific tools to manage difficult reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and communication to reduce conflict and address jealousy by identifying triggers and trying new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, discuss options, and together decide which methods fit your needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real life.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered. Confirm session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for quieter moments or lower-bandwidth connections. Licensed professionals can guide how to use the time effectively so sessions focus on achievable steps and practical problem solving.
