About Laurie
Laurie Carlton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Laurie frames the work as a partnership and encourages people who feel stuck to try small, manageable steps toward change.
She asks clear questions and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on concrete skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
She also helps people sort through career stress, grief, trauma reactions, and the impact of compassion fatigue. Laurie draws on approaches that teach new ways of thinking and coping. She uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build different habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when emotions feel intense and people need skills for regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help clients stay grounded and notice thoughts without getting pulled in. Treatment plans are practical and tailored to daily life, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
She works in clear, direct language and sets short-term goals people can try between meetings. Laurie supports people coping with life changes, addiction issues, family problems, and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach aims to build skills people can use long after therapy ends.
How Laurie’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns because it breaks issues into steps that can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with relationship strain, impulsivity, and intense stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which skills to try first and adjust the plan as needed so therapy matches the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people practice conversation and observe body language. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing skill reminders, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
