Laura Arnold, LCPC, LPC

Laura Arnold is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, grief, depression, anger, self-esteem, and other life changes.

Her approach is conversational and interactive. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than only talking about feelings. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize each person's experience and uses cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns.

Laura has worked in private-practice settings and in substance abuse inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient, and correctional facilities. That background gives her experience with people facing addiction, personality-related struggles, and complex emotional challenges.

In session she also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for supporting change when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making different choices.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She helps people break down patterns that lead to snapping, building resentment, avoidance, or unhealthy coping. Work often involves learning new skills, testing small changes in daily life, and reviewing what does and doesn’t work.

Clients should expect a collaborative process that balances skills practice with conversations about values and goals. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with attention to real-world problems like work stress, relationship strain, and substance concerns.
