Background and approach

Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways to respond to stress and anxiety. Her style is compassionate and straightforward. She offers guidance while encouraging people to take an active role in change.

That means setting realistic goals and practicing new skills between sessions. Laurie also addresses body image concerns, social anxiety and phobia, issues related to divorce and separation, and post-traumatic stress. She works with women’s issues, forgiveness, and building self-love as part of overall emotional recovery.

People can expect a practical focus on coping tools, emotion regulation, and decreasing avoidance. Laurie aims to make progress feel manageable by breaking larger problems into smaller steps. The goal is to help clients move forward with more confidence and fewer setbacks.

Practical approaches for online anxiety care

Laurie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, teachable skills. One common approach teaches emotion regulation and coping strategies to reduce intense reactions and manage daily stress. This helps when anxiety or mood swings make it hard to get through a normal day.

Another approach targets avoidance and anxious behaviors by encouraging gradual exposure to feared situations and safe problem-solving. This method breaks bigger fears into small steps so progress feels achievable. Both approaches emphasize practice between sessions and tracking small gains.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts priorities as therapy progresses so the work stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a face-to-face rhythm. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, homework review, and steady contact between video or phone sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
