About Laurie
She began by volunteering at a domestic violence shelter, exploring practical methods to help at-risk families. Her first paid position after earning her degree was in the foster care system, where she developed a deeper understanding of child welfare, family dynamics, and the legal processes that affect children and their caregivers. Returning to her hometown in northeast Michigan, she worked as an infant mental health specialist, gaining hands-on experience with trauma, family therapy, and delivering care in clients' homes.
Laurie later expanded her clinical work at a local hospital's behavioral health services, providing individual psychotherapy to people of all ages and backgrounds and developing proficiency on inpatient units that addressed substance abuse and mental illness. Her subsequent role at the VA further broadened her experience with diverse populations and complex presentations. Over time her varied roles and continued learning have shaped a well rounded therapist who is comfortable applying multiple therapeutic approaches with a wide range of clients.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and priorities of sessions. It helps people work through relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem issues by emphasizing empathy and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences through structured interventions that can address symptoms related to abuse, military service, and other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurie will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, clarify goals, and select techniques that fit their preferences and situation, adjusting methods over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists while accommodating different communication styles and daily routines.
