Laurie Steurer, LCSW, CSW

Laurie Steurer is a Colorado-licensed therapist who has spent more than two decades supporting people through major life transitions. She concentrates on grief, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, with particular attention to the painful emotions of guilt and shame. Laurie creates a respectful, empathetic space where individuals can explore their feelings and build practical strategies for healing and resilience.

Her therapeutic style combines warmth and directness to help clients process difficult emotions and rediscover inner strength. Laurie has a strong track record working with older adults, offering thoughtful guidance for transitions that come with aging and shifting life roles. She focuses on helping people move forward with clarity and self-compassion while honoring each person’s unique journey.

Laurie holds LCSW and CSW credentials, which reflect social work licensure in Colorado. She meets clients where they are and uses evidence-based techniques to tailor support that aligns with individual needs and goals.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Laurie draws on targeted, evidence-based approaches to address grief, life changes, and compassion fatigue. One focus is grief-centered work that helps people name and process losses, recognize ongoing bonds, and find ways to integrate change into daily life. Another emphasis is skills-based coping strategies that teach practical tools for managing strong emotions, improving day-to-day functioning, and reducing the impact of shame and guilt on decision making. A third area addresses compassion fatigue with interventions to restore emotional energy and set sustainable boundaries for people in caregiving roles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Laurie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques much like other licensed professionals and therapists would to create the best fit for the individual.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to connect from wherever a person is located in Colorado. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, continuity through life transitions, and different ways to engage depending on comfort and accessibility, helping clients get consistent support that fits their routines.
