Background and approach
This range shaped a practical approach to real-life problems. Laurie describes her style as interactive and solution-focused while staying compassionate. She often helps people identify feelings, name obstacles, and take small steps toward change.
She emphasizes self-love as a foundation for lasting progress and will reflect observations back so clients can see new options. Sessions tend to be conversational with a back-and-forth rhythm. Laurie encourages regular meeting times, usually weekly or every other week, because steady work is how old patterns shift.
She favors phone or video sessions and uses live chat when needed. Her work includes helping people cope with caregiving stress, career shifts, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to aging or bereavement.

How Laurie’s Approaches Work Online
Laurie draws on client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience. This approach means she listens closely, mirrors what she hears, and helps clients find their own answers. It helps with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship stress, and life purpose questions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try tools, adjust as needed, and focus on what helps in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
