How Laurie works
Mindfulness and existential perspectives also inform how she helps people make meaning and change day-to-day patterns. In a session, Laurie offers an empathetic space to talk through whatever is most pressing. She helps people set clear goals and tries to teach tools they can use between sessions.
Her style is warm, respectful, and collaborative, with attention to what each person needs right now. Her background includes five years of work in academic and clinical settings. That has included supporting at-risk youth and assisting clients with motivation, social anxiety, panic, anger, and relationship concerns.
Laurie draws on that variety of experience when shaping a treatment plan. People who choose Laurie often want straightforward guidance combined with personal reflection. She works with individual adults and adolescents to build practical coping skills while exploring deeper life questions.
Sessions are aimed at steady progress and real-world improvements.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and meaning
Laurie draws on client-centered therapy to build a trusting relationship where the person sets the priorities. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people clarify their own goals before choosing techniques to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood shifts.Laurie also uses dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when emotions run high or when people want concrete strategies to reduce conflict and impulsive reactions. Together these approaches blend compassionate listening with practical tools for everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for in-the-moment support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity between meetings, and practice skills in real time.
