Welcome to Healing Care Counseling
Welcome. I know reaching out can be hard, so I’m glad you found your way here. My name is Laura Packard, and I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts. I provide telehealth therapy and specialize in supporting teens and women who are navigating some of life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or postpartum struggles, my goal is to empower you to heal, grow, and thrive. I also have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, with a particular focus on working with lesbian, bisexual, and queer women, and I welcome trans women seeking affirming, trauma-informed care.
My Approach
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. In our work together, you’ll find me in a warm, down-to-earth space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. Using traditional talk therapy, evidence-based tools like mindfulness, meditation, and some creative outlets such as art, I’ll help you build skills that foster resilience and balance in your life.
Why Choose My Practice?
I’m passionate about creating a therapeutic space that feels approachable and empowering. From practical worksheets, creating space to vent, and mindfulness exercises to personalized strategies for managing emotions, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength and create meaningful change. It's okay to have a session where you just need space to process your week. We’ll focus on what feels most helpful to you that day. Therapy doesn’t always have to be intense to be meaningful. Treatment is designed with you in mind- convenient, flexible, and fully online.
Let’s Get Started
You deserve care and support the fit your needs and I would love to support you on your wellness journey. Book an appointment or reach out to schedule a free consultation to discover if we are the right fit.
“Therapists are like shoes, not every one is the right fit, and that’s okay, but you’ll never know unless you try one.”

Free Consultation
Starting therapy can be overwhelming, and reaching out is often the hardest part. To make things easier, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help us see if we’re a good fit. This can be done by phone, text, or email, whatever feels most comfortable and accessible for you. You can request a consult by filling out the information in the Contact Us section.
Please note that consultations are for general questions and to help you learn more about how I work and what you’re looking for. No clinical advice or therapeutic services are provided during this exchange. The goal is simply to help you decide if working together feels right.
Reserve an appointment
Ready to get started? To schedule an individual therapy session or to request a 15-minute phone consultation reach out through the Contact Us section. You can also see what I have for availability by pressing the “Book” button at the top right of the page. When booking an appointment, please select a date at least 7 days out. This gives plenty of time to complete the intake paperwork and allows me time to review everything so we can start off fully prepared. If you have any questions before booking, I’d be happy to answer those too. I look forward to connecting with you.
*If you don’t see a time that works for you, feel free to reach out. I might be able to adjust my schedule. It could take up to four weeks to find an opening, but it never hurts to ask. If I can make it work, I will.
