About Lara
Dr. Lara Neely greets people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, sleep trouble, or major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a calm, practical approach to sessions.
Parents, people dealing with grief, and those facing relationship or identity questions will find straightforward help and concrete tools. She uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs, including hypnotherapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, and cognitive approaches.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, usable steps - skills for calming panic, improving sleep, or managing mood swings. The aim is to leave with techniques that work between appointments. Her background includes work in psychiatric emergency care, community behavioral health, and independent practice.
That range means familiarity with sudden crises as well as longer term concerns. Dr. Neely has four years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Colorado.
In conversation she emphasizes practical skill-building and a client-centered stance. People are invited to identify goals, try tools, and adjust plans when needed. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Dr. Neely often helps people build a personal toolbox for everyday stressors. She supports exploration of identity, relationship patterns, and difficult feelings without judgment.
The focus is clear: make life more manageable and begin creating the life someone wants.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or sleep problems. It can be used alongside talk-based techniques to practice new responses to stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them dictate behavior and focus on values-based action for a more meaningful life. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs. They collaborate on adjustments and mix techniques when that helps someone make steady progress toward clearer goals.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversation and demonstrating exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules more easily.
