About Laurie

Laurie Metje is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with nine years of professional experience. As an LMHC - which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and indicates state licensure and clinical training - she focuses on supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, those navigating eating concerns, and individuals working to build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Laurie also helps clients manage major life changes and the stress that can come with transitions.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, guiding clients to recognize the resources and resilience they already possess.

Approaches to Online Therapy and Practical Support

Laurie uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client’s perspective and creates a supportive space where people are encouraged to explore their experiences and values. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying goals, and gaining confidence. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - a structured method that examines links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. CBT offers practical tools for coping and problem solving. Additionally, Laurie draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - techniques to teach skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.



Online therapy with Laurie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without traveling, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives while maintaining the same focus on growth and practical skills.
