About Lauri
Lauri Maynard helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She works with individuals who are trying to cope with burnout, feel stuck, or want to find more meaning in their days. Lauri practices in Connecticut and brings 22 years of experience to her work.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for patterns that create pain and then helps people try new ways of responding.
How Lauri works
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and small steps that build confidence over time. Lauri often explores the mind-body connection and how daily habits affect mood. She supports people dealing with loneliness, guilt and shame, control issues, and struggles with role changes like caregiving.
She also helps those navigating concerns related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, social anxiety, and issues common in young adulthood and midlife. Her own experience with depression and burnout informs her approach. That background shaped how she guides people toward resilience instead of just coping.
The work aims to expand choices and create a stronger sense of purpose. In sessions, Lauri helps clients discover self-acceptance and practical ways to manage symptoms. She focuses on communication skills, rebuilding energy, and reconnecting with what matters.
The emphasis is on steady, real-world change that fits a person's life.

Approaches that guide online care
Many clients benefit from approaches that pair practical skills with exploration of meaning. One common method focuses on teaching concrete coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood; this helps people manage daily stress and regain energy. Another approach looks at the mind-body connection and routine habits that affect feelings and motivation; that work supports rebuilding resilience after burnout or long-term stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they adapt techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people touch base between sessions or use shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
