Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work

Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and build alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes learning concrete skills for managing emotions and improving communication in relationships and family life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work done together. Laurie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more focused check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep therapy consistent during life changes by offering more flexibility around work and caregiving demands.
