About Laurie

Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who draws on five years of clinical and academic experience to support people facing mood, behavior, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She uses a collaborative, respectful style that emphasizes practical strategies and personal strengths, blending evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and client-centered listening to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, stress, and panic. Her work includes helping clients navigate eating and substance-related concerns, anger, family-of-origin issues, grief, and parenting challenges.

Laurie has also spent time supporting at-risk youth, focusing on skill-building and motivation to enhance daily functioning and overall wellbeing. Sessions emphasize goal-setting and the development of concrete coping tools tailored to each person’s situation.

Clients can expect an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where their experience guides the pace and direction of therapy. Laurie frames progress as a collaborative effort, partnering with clients to identify priorities, try actionable strategies, and adjust plans as needed to foster greater self-awareness, resilience, and self-love.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Laurie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard while they explore values and motivation. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are woven in to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for challenges like intense emotions or relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Laurie treats it as a collaboration. She assesses each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and tailors a plan that may draw from one or more methods. Together the therapist and client monitor progress and adjust techniques to find what works best for the individual.

Online therapy with Laurie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access across busy schedules. These formats allow clients to practice skills between contacts, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect from wherever they are in Texas, supporting consistent work toward established goals.
