Laura Tellez

Laura Tellez is a licensed clinical social worker who provides bilingual therapy in English and Spanish. She has worked for more than 12 years helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions to make taking the first step feel safer.

Laura adapts conversations and care to each person. She listens for what matters to the client and then shapes a plan around those priorities. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between visits, as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed styles, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused care. That lets her offer both short-term problem-solving and deeper work on past experiences that still affect daily life.

People often come to her for help with issues such as attachment worries, abandonment fears, communication or commitment problems, body image, caregiver stress, and the fallout of infidelity or separation. She also supports those dealing with immigration-related stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and control issues.

Laura practices in Texas and works with adults who want a respectful, tailored path forward. She encourages clients to move at their own pace while learning concrete tools for coping and repairing relationships where possible.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and experience first. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and shaping each conversation around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It is often useful for stress, worry, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to help with reactivity and distress, using short exercises to build calm and focus.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try strategies together to see what fits. If an idea doesn’t help, she will adjust the plan and try a different technique so care aligns with your needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also make brief check-ins or homework review more convenient, and some people find it simpler to try approaches like CBT and mindfulness by doing them between meetings with guidance from a licensed professional.
