Background and approach
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems stuck and offers practical ways to try things differently. That might include learning ways to manage worry, improve communication, or set realistic goals. The aim is to reduce distress and increase a sense of control over daily life.
Laurie brings long experience with trauma and abuse, and she uses that background to move at a pace each person can handle. She also has experience with eating disorders and motivation challenges, and she blends supportive listening with concrete strategies. People working with Laurie can expect a collaborative process.
She helps clients clarify what they want to change and builds step-by-step plans to reach those goals. Laurie practices in New York and holds the LCSW credential.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills. One common approach teaches skills for managing worry and anxiety through step-by-step practice, such as learning breathing and thought-challenging exercises to reduce daily distress. Another approach emphasizes processing past trauma at a pace the client can handle, helping people make sense of painful memories while building safety and coping tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This collaboration means techniques can be adapted as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay consistent. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reminders, and practicing skills between sessions. Together these options help people access ongoing support in ways that match their schedule and daily life.
