Laura Wafer, LIMFT, LMFT

Laura Wafer is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family challenges, and trauma. She brings ten years of clinical experience and aims to meet people where they are. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, with attention to each person's needs and circumstances.

She listens carefully to what matters most and works with clients to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are tailored to the individual rather than following a rigid script. Clients can expect practical steps they can try between sessions and regular check-ins to see what is or isn’t working.

Laura adapts her plans to fit each person’s life. She pays attention to issues like attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and problems that arise in blended families. She also addresses concerns that often come with trauma and abuse histories and disruptive mood challenges.

Her background includes licensure in Kentucky and Ohio as a licensed independent marriage and family therapist and a licensed marriage and family therapist. That professional experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress. She speaks English and practices out of Kentucky.

People who choose to work with Laura start by describing the problems that bring them in. From there she helps create a plan that fits daily life and personal goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating.

Approaches that guide online work and fit into busy lives

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and clearer relationships. One approach emphasizes identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to see what helps; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Another approach centers on attachment and relationship dynamics, helping people understand how early connection patterns shape current relationships and teaching new ways to relate that reduce conflict and improve closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what clients report is helpful and what fits their life.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats that are currently offered before booking. Many people choose online options because they can fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments. Online formats can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy schedule.
