Client-Centered and Skills-Based Therapy Online

Laurie integrates client-centered principles with evidence-informed skills work to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead - an approach that supports people processing trauma, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, stress, and mood struggles, and offers practical strategies to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides teaching and practice in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and strengths, and adjusts methods over time to find the best fit. Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible, allowing clients to connect from home or other convenient locations and fit support into busy schedules.
