Meet Laura Cavicchi, Ph.D., LPC-S
Your Mental Wellness Specialist
With over 18 years experience, I specialize in working with adults, professionals, and parents and address: Managing stress, burnout, or self-criticism. Navigating major life or career transitions. Anxiety, depression, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing. Helping college students with transitioning to living away from home and helping them to manage their new lives and the challenges that can bring. Developing healthier boundaries. Therapy for blended families and re-marriage counseling. Preparenting couples counseling.
In our first session, we'll talk about your goals and the patterns or stressors that are getting in the way and create an individualized approach(s). I offer virtual therapy across Texas and Florida and in person in San Antonio, Tx.
I am passionate about helping clients understand how past experiences shape present behaviors. By uncovering these patterns, we can work together to help you develop more effective coping strategies and improve your overall well-being, empowering you to live a more fulfilling life with a renewed sense of peace and clarity.
I help clients untangle thoughts, actions, patterns, and emotions that keep them stuck or overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted. Using CBT, solution-focused, and psychodynamic approaches, I tailor therapy to fit your needs. Change is possible, reach out, and let’s start the conversation.
The Difference
Support that meets you where you are


Weekend Appointments Available
In addition to weekdays, I also offer weekend appointments so you don’t have to squeeze emotionally heavy work into an already long day or a rushed lunch break. Part of therapy is finding some breathing space for you to be able to focus on you without feeling the pressure of getting to the next task as soon as your appointment is over.
Experience That Brings Greater Perspective
My experience spans psychiatric hospitals, college counseling centers, family-based forensics, work as a college lecturer, and chronic pain programs—shaping a grounded, real-world approach to care gives me a vast and unique understanding of many types of problems
Specific Support for College Students
College students face a unique set of emotional and developmental challenges. My experience on both the academic and campus counseling side combined with being the parent of a college student— guides how I help support students to navigate these challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

Improved Coping Skills- out with the old and in with the new
So often we are still relying on old coping tools we developed to get us through difficult times that have now become counterproductive. Together we will help you discover new tools and in the process break old habits and patterns.
