Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns, asks questions to clarify goals, and supports clients as they discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting over time to find what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to continue work consistently over time.
