Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to help people build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, attainable steps and leverages existing strengths to create forward movement, making it well suited for clients seeking clear, goal-oriented progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Laurie views that choice as collaborative. She works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual. The aim is to find strategies that fit the client's life and support steady improvement.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to connect from home or other convenient locations, schedule sessions more easily around busy lives, and continue work between meetings when helpful. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, evidence-informed care while remaining responsive to each client's circumstances.
