Evidence-Based Techniques and Remote Care

Laurie Horton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person s needs. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with structured exercises and practical tools; this helps people manage symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and supports everyday coping skills. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, creating a steady, supportive framework for processing past hurt and building resilience while attending to safety and pacing.

Laurie approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each person to identify priorities, trial approaches, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective. Together they explore goals, test strategies, and refine techniques so the chosen methods fit the client s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy with Laurie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access skilled support from home, work, or another convenient location while working toward meaningful change.
