About Laura

Laura Henckler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes plainly and listens carefully, so parents and busy adults can talk through immediate worries and next steps. Laura aims to create a practical plan that fits each person's life.

Laura works with people facing depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career decisions, body image, bipolar concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

She combines short-term coaching-style work with deeper therapy when needed. Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help clients build skills, change unhelpful patterns, and improve communication.

Laura explains techniques in clear language and practices them together with clients. With 17 years of clinical experience in Maine, Laura draws on a variety of settings and cases to tailor care. She focuses on concrete steps people can take between sessions, such as simple behavioral experiments and communication exercises.

Many people come for help with a specific problem and leave with a broader sense of control and clearer goals. Laura encourages steady progress and practical coping strategies rather than quick fixes. She supports each person in finding what works for them and adjusting the plan as life changes.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Laura often combines the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy depending on a person's needs. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationships through specific exercises and shared goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that fit the client's life and aims rather than using the same plan for everyone.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins or shorter exchanges, and messaging can support ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach a licensed professional from wherever you are in Maine.
