These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Gleaves . 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.
You really can’t go wrong with choosing Laura as your therapist here on BetterHelp. Throughout our many sessions, I always felt encouraged to give as much detail as I was comfortable giving in the moment. Laura provided great guidance and was even able to figure out the whole picture swiftly and seamlessly. Laura has a lot of professional experience and life experience, which she combines to provide the best feedback for your issue(s). She even sends fun and interactive worksheets that you may read/complete in between sessions at your own pace to truly reinforce everything talked about during the live session. Thank you, Laura! :)

I am only in the beginning stages of therapy but I am very happy with Laura! She is kind and communicates very clearly. I have only had 2 sessions and have noticed that I’ve kept thinking about some revelations we’ve uncovered in those sessions. I am excited to continue my healing process with Laura!

Great communication and very easy to talk with. Easy going lets you lead the talk when you want to or gets you talking when you don't.

Laura is an amazing therapist. She is a very good listener who supports & helps you through the journey. I’ve been struggling with anxiety and stress. She understood my concerns and guided me by providing all the resources which I needed to improve myself. I’ve started to see improvements in my life after taking therapy sessions with her. I’ve had a wonderful experience & I would suggest Laura to anyone who wanted help .
