About Laurie

Laurie Mombay, MD, LCPC, is a licensed clinical professional counselor based in Maryland with 18 years of clinical experience working across diverse settings. She holds a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola College and maintains professional credentials as an MD - Doctor of Medicine - and an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Her background includes work in outpatient programs, employee assistance services, and criminal justice contexts such as victim advocacy and corrections.

Laurie has supported people managing depression, anxiety, anger, mood disorders, and the aftermath of trauma. Her counseling approach blends compassion with clear challenge and encouragement; she offers a non-judgmental space while actively helping clients develop practical skills for change. Laurie emphasizes empowering clients with tools they can use in everyday life, noting that insight matters most when it leads to meaningful action.

Her primary clinical orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy, complemented by substantial experience with dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused techniques. She regularly assists individuals recovering from significant trauma and those working to regulate mood and impulsive behavior. Laurie entered the counseling field out of a genuine interest in listening to people’s stories and has remained committed to helping clients shape those stories into lives that feel purposeful and satisfying.

Clinical Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and problems with sleep or panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be especially helpful for people who struggle with intense moods, impulsivity, or difficulty managing relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting clear goals and building on a person’s strengths to create forward momentum; it is brief and action-oriented, useful for clients seeking concrete change.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Laurie collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines evidence-based methods with client input to tailor sessions and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match a client’s schedule and communication style. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and to continue work toward goals even when life is busy or circumstances change.
