Laura O’Neill

Laura Aydlette, LPC Clinician – Fairfax

Laura is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. She received her Master of Science in Counseling from Divine Mercy University, where she was taught an integrated approach to human flourishing that combines the wisdom of the Catholic faith with the grounding in psychological sciences. She is passionate about incorporating this along with a strengths-based, hope-filled approach with her clients.

Laura works with individuals of all ages navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, and adjusting to life transitions. Clients often come to her initially feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they want to break out of, and uncertain about next steps. Through treatment, and Laura’s warm, compassionate, encouraging therapeutic style, clients can find clarity, confidence, and practical strategies tailored to their unique strengths and ways of engaging with the world.
