About Laurie
Laurie Lasner is a Utah licensed psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. Laurie aims to help clients build self-esteem and find direction during life changes.
She uses approaches that center on relationships and personal meaning. Sessions often explore attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current struggles. Conversations also look at thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck, and practical ways to change them.
How Laurie works
Laurie works with adults who feel lonely, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce or separation, and issues tied to family of origin. Short-term goals and longer personal growth are both addressed.
Her style blends listening with clear, actionable steps. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through feelings and learn new skills for coping. Laurie helps people build self-compassion and stronger connections with others.
In therapy she draws on psychodynamic ideas to track recurring patterns and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based work guides exploration of relational hurts, and existential themes help people find meaning. Laurie is credentialed as UT Psychologist 14223399-2501 and practices in Utah.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled by starting the matching process and choosing a time that fits each person’s schedule.

How Laurie’s Approaches Work Online
Laurie often uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they connect, react, and sometimes repeat old hurts in present-day relationships. It is useful for communication problems, isolation, and issues with trust.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. CBT focuses on practical tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and skill building to reduce anxiety and improve mood. That makes it a good match for stress, worry, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor methods that fit those needs. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT, psychodynamic reflection, or a mix of approaches.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
