My name is Laura King, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) located in Georgia. I received a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Columbus State University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from The University of North Georgia.
I have over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health counseling in both inpatient and outpatient settings as well as within the prison system. Throughout my years as a therapist, I have worked with clients who simply need to talk through life events that they have not adjusted to well all the way to clients who have significant and debilitating mental illnesses. Most recently, I worked for over 3 years in a women's prison treating women who have dual-diagnoses (both a substance problem and a mental health problem)
My theoretical orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I focus on helping clients identify how their thought patterns influence their emotions and behaviors. It is important to me that my clients feel supported during therapy and build upon their strengths to make the positive changes they desire.
In recent years I have begun integrating a holistic approach to my counseling practice. I received a certification in Holistic Nutrition in order to provide my clients with increased knowledge of how their daily nutrition impacts their mental health as well as overall wellness.
Additional areas of focus:LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Attachment issues, Blended Family Issues, Body image, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Dependent Personality, Divorce and separation, Domestic Violence, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Eating and Food-Related Issues, Emptiness, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Forgiveness, Gender Dysphoria, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Jealousy, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Money and financial issues, Mood disorders , Narcissism, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Paranoia, Personality Disorders, Polyamory / Nonmonogamous Relationships, Postpartum Depression, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy and childbirth, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-love, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Sexual Dysfunction, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young Adult Issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura King. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Laura is a wonderful listener and was generous with her feedback and advice. She was very responsive to my messages. I enjoyed her weekly memos to all her clients. I only did a couple of live sessions with video and those make me nervous, but she was warm and positive.

I have been working with Laura for a while now, starting with a tragic death in our extended family that caused quite a bit of anxiety for me as a monther. She helped me work through that and so much more. I enjoy speaking to her about big things and trivial things. She has good insight and is relatable. She validates my feelings even when I know my anxiety is often caused by "first world problems." I often reflect on the things that she has written long after we spoke.

I have been apart of BetterHelp off and on for over a year. Laura is the first counselor who seems to just "get" the kind of support and words that I need in order to feel better and handle the stressful situations I am usually in.

Laura is so kind and so positive. She coaches me through the maze of my thoughts through her one-on-one counseling (which is phenomenal) and also helps guide me by sending regular topics that relate to mental health - points of inquiry to help shine a light on what goes on in my mind. She responds more thoroughly to my messages than any other counselor I've had, and makes me feel heard and cared for. Laura puts in a lot of work towards improving my mental health, and gives me the tools I need to improve on my own.

Laura is a great help in getting myself sorted out with myself. She doesn't let minutes go by in our session with silence. If I become quiet she'll ask me questions to get me to interact - and most times this stirs up a talking point. Even on virtual meetings, she's very personable and approachable. Her written responses are very well written! She knows when we can share humor and when things should not be humorous. I appreciate her, a lot. I hope she knows that!

I have only been doing counseling with Laura for a short time but I can already tell a difference in my attitude and how I feel. It helps out a lot to have someone to talk to who not only listens but also advises and guides you and provides exercises to help you.

Laura is the real deal. I was originally matched with another counselor and instantly knew that Laura was the one when she clearly took the time to understand my questions / concerns and responded with paragraph after paragraph of amazing, well-thought out, and incredibly helpful advice. She has drastically improved my life after speaking with her for two short months.
Written on Nov 12, 2018 after therapy with Laura for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions
Laura is truly a great clinician. She has worked side by side with me for over a year to help me overcome the damage done by infidelity in my relationship, a divorce and child custody issues. She has been patient, willing to help me tackle every issue one at a time and always has been able to work around my very crazy work schedule. Although I don’t utilize Laura on a weekly basis anymore, I still choose to pay for her services on BetterHelp for the couple of times a month I need a listening ear and unbiased guidance. She has helped me to be a better version of myself and has helped me to improve my parenting skills while navigating a high conflict divorce. Thanks Laura!

Ms. King is exceptional at her job. I have some reservations about online counseling and the ability to make a connection, but texting has worked so well for me because, honestly, I didn't need as much help as often as I thought I did. In reality, having her there to receive my messages is enough to get me through the day.

When I first started with better help, I was having high anxiety about my job and other things going on in my life. However, however Laura help me work through my issues, and get past my anxiety. It led me to find a better job, with more pay and fewer hours. My anxiety decreased tenfold, and my tension headaches almost completely disappeared. She responds quickly and she's very friendly. I feel like I'm just talking to a friend. It's nice to not have to go somewhere to talk to someone, and I can just text anytime, no matter what or when. I highly recommend!
