About Laurie

Laurie Lasner is a licensed psychologist in Utah with 20 years of clinical experience helping people work through depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. She combines practical, evidence-informed strategies with an empathic, client-focused stance to help clients build self-compassion, improve communication, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Background and approach

Laurie draws on a range of therapeutic ideas to tailor her work to each person’s needs while emphasizing realistic tools for coping and change. Her practice often centers on individuals seeking clearer life purpose and more meaningful connections, especially when facing isolation, caregiver stress, or challenges tied to family history and attachment patterns.

Clients benefit from a calm, reflective space where underlying patterns are explored and practical steps are developed to address mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, and relationship setbacks. Laurie aims to honor each person’s strengths while supporting steady, sustainable growth through thoughtful, collaborative care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Laurie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to build practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relational patterns shape current connections and helps people develop more supported ways of relating and communicating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laurie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods will best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to each person’s concerns and adapts strategies over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Laurie uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes, offering a range of ways to engage that align with different comfort levels and practical needs.
