About Laurie
Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and guides them through life changes. Her manner is warm and encouraging, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable.
Laurie uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs.
Background and approach
She helps people spot thoughts and habits that keep them stuck and then practices new ways of coping. Sessions often include simple tools and step-by-step strategies to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Her background includes more than a decade in education before moving into counseling, which influences a clear, teaching-based style.
That experience supports work on parenting questions, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues like relationships, grief, trauma, addictions, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Laurie views therapy as a collaboration.
She invites people to set achievable goals and tries to meet them where they are. Her focus is on building workable skills and clearer communication so people can handle tough moments more effectively.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety and depression. CBT sessions often include goal setting, tracking thought patterns, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.She also draws from Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and ground people during stressful moments. Mindfulness exercises can be brief and fit into a busy day to reduce rumination and increase calm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques to each person's needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls are useful for longer sessions that mimic in-person meetings, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, weekly tracking, or quick skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what helps most.
