How evidence-based approaches work online
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problem-solving and skill-building. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new ways of responding; this helps with anxiety and low mood by giving clear steps to try between sessions. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, helping people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable and rebuilding confidence and safety in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try different methods as needed, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit a person’s situation and preferences.
Online therapy with Laurie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are good for short check-ins, brief reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
