About Laurel
Laurel Lass is a licensed clinical social worker who uses emotion-focused work to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship pain. She draws on 24 years of clinical practice and keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Laurel emphasizes the client’s own knowledge of their life and builds on existing strengths.
Laurel listens for patterns in feelings and reactions so people can better understand what drives their choices. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-informed ideas to look at how past bonds shape current relationships.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools help clients notice hard emotions without getting swept away by them. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events keep showing up as panic, mood shifts, or avoidance. Internal Family Systems ideas help people name and speak to different parts of themselves, like inner critics or fearful parts, so those parts feel heard and integrated.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Laurel helps with communication struggles, problems with control, feelings of abandonment, and the shame or guilt that can follow loss. She also supports work on life purpose, building self-love, and managing panic attacks.
People who want therapy in English in California will find a direct, compassionate style. Laurel encourages small steps and clear goals so progress feels real and manageable.

Online support
Emotion work and attachment healing online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting the emotional experiences that keep people stuck. It helps when strong feelings drive repeated patterns in relationships or daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and helps people form more supported ways of relating. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and sensations so reactions can be chosen rather than automatic.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Laurel will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process lets you test what helps and adjust the focus over time rather than committing to a single technique up front.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deep emotional work when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a camera feels like a barrier. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, shorter updates, or work between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy days.
