Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are used to build skills and strengthen motivation for change. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. Laurie helps people break down problems into manageable steps.
She works on coping skills for panic, stress, and mood problems as well as patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependency or process addictions. She also addresses issues tied to identity and relationships, including work with LGBT concerns, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
People often come for help with self-esteem, guilt, or midlife questions, and Laurie supports practical next steps toward feeling more stable. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their values and daily life.
If someone wants steady, experience-based support for anxiety or related concerns, Laurie offers a clear, collaborative path forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions make it easy to keep those conversations going from different locations and at times that fit a busy life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into steps you can practice between sessions, which works well with video or text check-ins to track progress and homework.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then adapt methods across sessions. That collaborative process helps match tools like CBT or trauma-focused work to what will actually help in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other routines without losing continuity of care.
