How Laurie Uses Talk Therapy Approaches Online

Laurie integrates cognitive behavioral techniques that help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical behavior changes, a method that can support work on anxiety, mood difficulties, panic, and compulsive patterns. She also uses client-centered therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where a person’s own priorities guide the goals and pace of treatment, which helps when exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions. Mindfulness-based practices are offered as simple, present-focused strategies to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation over time.

Choosing an approach is collaborative rather than prescribed; Laurie works with each person to determine which methods feel most useful based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques throughout treatment so the plan remains responsive to progress and changing needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain consistency across busy weeks, access support from home, and fit skill-building work into everyday life while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
