About Laurie
She uses straightforward conversation to tailor a plan to each person. Sessions aim to surface what matters most, set small goals, and try steps that fit day-to-day life. Laurie also helps with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, grief, and challenges after trauma or abuse.
Laurie includes coaching skills when clients want clearer motivation and direction. She supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, first responder concerns, and issues tied to intellectual disability. Jealousy and young adult transitions are additional areas she pays attention to.
Her approach blends methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas. That mix is used to find concrete ways to change thinking and behavior while honoring personal stories and strengths.
People who prefer plain language and a steady, encouraging style often find her helpful. She works collaboratively, setting goals together and adjusting steps as progress is made. To begin, clients use the site flow to match and schedule a time that fits their life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Laurie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to shape her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build motivation when confidence or direction is low.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods that fit your situation. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively what to try and how to adjust it over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief touchpoint helps. It also supports regular, consistent meetings that help steady progress without reshuffling your whole schedule.
