About Laurie

Laurie Norris, LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker), is a clinical social worker practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She has supported individuals and families working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, relationship difficulties, and parenting challenges. Laurie draws on a range of clinical skills to address both immediate symptoms and the underlying patterns that contribute to ongoing struggle.

She often frames life as a river - sometimes people feel stuck against an obstacle, sometimes the current feels too strong, and other times they find themselves removed from the flow and unsure of the next step. That imagery guides her approach: she focuses on helping people regain momentum, reconnect with their strengths, and find clearer direction.

Laurie believes people have the capacity to be catalysts for change in their own lives. She prioritizes building a collaborative relationship that fosters practical skills, self-awareness, and confidence in navigating transitions and challenges. Her practice emphasizes empathy, patience, and tailored strategies to help clients move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns. It helps clients explore how attachment styles influence trust, closeness, and reactions to stress, which can be useful for relationship, family, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities. This approach supports building self-awareness and self-esteem while addressing issues like depression, coping with life changes, and caregiver stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by introducing practical tools for managing symptoms. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and insomnia.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Laurie works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to a client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and combines techniques from different approaches to create a tailored plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals when in-person care is not convenient. Laurie uses these formats to provide consistent, accessible support that adapts to each client's needs.
