I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 4 years of professional work experience as a therapist. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in mental health settings as a social services specialist, life coach, and in education as a school counselor. Because I desired to promote lasting change and greater impact, I pursued my therapy license, which required a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling, successful completion of the National Counselor Exam, and 3000 clock hours of supervised experience.
I have experience in helping clients and families with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse recovery, relationship and parenting issues, depression, and coping with life changes. Working with BetterHelp has also given me opportunity to help with addiction recovery and maintenance. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and goals to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking steps to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage. I am here to support you in your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Chilson. 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.
She helped connect pieces of my childhood trauma to my behavior now as an adult. With that awareness, I feel like I'm able to overcome the challenges of this life.

Laura is very down to earth and is very patient and knowledgeable in her profession Laura takes the time to listen to her patient and give feedback that will help them with their problems. One of the main things i like about her is after each session she ask me if she can pray with me and i really like that about her. She is really is really a special lady and your business is lucky to have her working with you. She has helped me so far but still work to be done.
Thank You
Laura
