About Laurie
Laurie White is a licensed social worker in Kansas with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker credential, LSCSW, and focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, and relationship or family strain. Laurie aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and respectful.
She keeps sessions simple and direct. Laurie listens first, then helps people name the problems that feel biggest right now.
Background and approach
She works with parents who are overwhelmed, people coping with trauma or abuse, and those facing career or life changes. She also supports people managing sleep problems, anger, depression, or low self esteem. Laurie uses several therapy approaches depending on what a person needs.
She draws on attachment-based work to look at safety and closeness in relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are offered to help manage strong emotions and build steady routines.
Her style is warm and practical. Conversations are tailored to each person, and goals are set together. She pays attention to family and blended-family dynamics, codependency, and caregiver stress when those issues come up.
Laurie communicates clearly about next steps. She explains the process and helps people choose tools that fit their life. Taking a first step is often the hardest part, and she focuses on steady, doable progress.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape safety and trust. In practice this means talking about past and current relationships to understand patterns and build more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and problem focused, with exercises that can be done between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to manage strong emotions and improve sleep and concentration.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they pick techniques and pace the work so it fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not practical. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more often and fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options add flexibility and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
