Background and approach
Laurie pays attention to how early attachments and life stories shape current feelings and choices. Her style blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions include listening, reflection, and concrete skills to handle upsetting thoughts and behaviors.
Laurie also brings existential ideas that help people find purpose and meaning when life feels uncertain. Sessions are intended to strengthen self-compassion, improve communication, and rebuild a sense of direction. She supports people working through forgiveness, self-love, and mood challenges.
Laurie also addresses practical strains like divorce, caregiving burden, and isolation. People who choose her can expect a steady, respectful approach that ties personal history to present problems. She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps.

How Laurie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional needs. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in closeness and trust and practice new ways of relating to others.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens and follows the client's concerns. In video or messaging sessions this approach gives room for people to set the pace and focus on what matters most to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT in remote formats often includes short skill-building exercises, thought records, and action plans that a person can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. She checks in about what is and isn’t helpful and adjusts the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they prefer a conversational rhythm. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or focus helps. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules while supporting steady progress.
