How Laurie works
Relationship concerns and communication problems are a common focus in her work. Laurie helps people untangle control issues, forgiveness, guilt, and shame so they can make clearer choices. She pays close attention to attachment issues and their effects on self-esteem and connections with others.
Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the individual rather than one fixed method. Laurie aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and collaborative space for growth.
In sessions she guides practical steps toward better daily coping and clearer thinking. The goal is to help people build a more positive self-identity and stronger motivation. Laurie frames therapy as a partnership where progress comes from small, achievable changes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One commonly used approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people manage panic attacks, social anxiety, and depressive thoughts in everyday situations.Another approach centers on strengthening attachment and relationship patterns by improving communication and emotional awareness. This work helps people address isolation, caregiver stress, control issues, and problems with trust or self-worth.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will discuss options and tailor methods to fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences in a collaborative way. She aims to find techniques that feel realistic and useful for daily life.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent progress.
