About Li
Li Laurent is a practical and direct counsellor who focuses on clear interventions. She uses brief, goal-focused work to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Li has four years of clinical experience and holds AASW accreditation as a social worker.
Li prefers sessions that move quickly toward useful changes. She combines client-centred listening with structured techniques. This helps people unpick unhelpful thoughts, manage mood swings and cope with life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes trauma and abuse recovery and support for depression. Li also helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment or relationship patterns that leave them feeling stuck. She will talk through practical steps to reduce symptoms such as dissociation or seasonal low mood.
Li uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques alongside EMDR and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are collaborative and task-oriented, with simple tools to try between appointments. The emphasis is on small, steady improvements rather than quick fixes.
People can expect plain language and clear next steps in each meeting. Her approach suits those who want straightforward guidance and exercises to practise. Li works with adults who want to build healthier coping skills and greater emotional stability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
The client-centred approach focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. It involves reflective conversation and empathy to help people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for regulating emotions and improving distress tolerance, which suits people who need concrete tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Li will discuss these methods with each person and together they decide which techniques suit the individual’s goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, while phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep momentum between appointments.
