Laura Angers Maddox, LPC

Laura Angers Maddox meets people where they are and helps them make practical changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who listens without judgment and offers clear steps to move forward. Laura writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can follow the plan she creates together with them.

She draws on nearly a decade of counseling experience in a range of settings including group homes, office work, and in-home sessions. That variety shaped a flexible approach that mixes structured problem-solving with warm, person-centered support. Sessions focus on concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and handle intense emotions.

When trauma and abuse are part of someone's history, Laura uses trauma-focused methods alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to address symptoms and rebuild coping. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. For relationship and family concerns she looks at interaction patterns and communication habits to help people shift repeating cycles.

Clients can expect straightforward goals, skill practice, and short-term strategies as well as deeper work when needed. She pays attention to issues like grief, shame, attachment wounds, and problems stemming from family of origin. Working together, she helps people clarify priorities and take manageable steps toward change.

Laura provides sessions in English from Alabama and accepts international clients. Her style aims to be accepting, understanding, and encouraging while focusing on results that matter to daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, offering a supportive space where a person’s concerns guide each session and the therapist follows their lead.

She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, teaching concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve communication. Together she and a client decide which methods fit best, adapting techniques to the person's needs and goals in a collaborative way rather than following a fixed script.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress and real-world coping skills.
