She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults, addressing concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety and panic, social phobias, eating and food-related issues, anger, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and addictions including drug and alcohol issues. Her background includes supporting at-risk youth as they develop practical skills to move toward more productive and fulfilling lives.

Her counseling style is warm, empathetic, and respectful, grounded in the belief that therapy is a collaborative process. She partners with individuals to explore the sources of distress, set meaningful goals, and create strategies that promote growth and resilience. Laurie emphasizes empowerment and self-compassion while helping clients build the tools they need to make sustainable changes.

Beginning therapy often takes courage, and Laurie recognizes the strength it requires to start this work. She seeks to provide a supportive environment where clients feel understood and guided toward greater well-being, and she looks forward to working with those ready to begin that journey.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Support

Laurie integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a collaborative relationship, helping individuals build self-esteem, address family and relationship concerns, and explore personal values. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and motivation challenges. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can aid people managing anger, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly combine these approaches to match what will be most helpful for a given situation.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and greater access to consistent care. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and daily life while maintaining regular progress toward therapeutic goals.
