About Laurie
Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience in Nevada. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, grief, and changes in relationships. Laurie aims to make the first step feel manageable and direct conversations toward practical next steps.
She creates a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful events and confusing feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, using simple tools and real-life examples.
Background and approach
Laurie pays close attention to how early bonds and attachment can shape present struggles and choices. Her approach blends straightforward cognitive work with acceptance and mindfulness skills. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to tailor sessions.
This mix helps people reduce overwhelm, manage strong emotions, and try new relationship habits. Laurie is experienced supporting people who identify as LGBT and those exploring alternative relationship or sexual cultures. She also helps people coping with parenting stress, blended family issues, body image concerns, and substance use challenges.
Her work often addresses abandonment, codependency, and commitment worries. Clients can expect clear communication about goals and practical strategies to practice between sessions. Laurie frames therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as needs change.
The aim is steady progress toward more manageable days and clearer choices.
Approaches and online therapy options
Laurie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward values-based choices. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and getting unstuck from worry.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. That work can help improve communication, reduce reactivity, and build steadier bonds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging options let people share updates or get support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
