About Laurie
Laurie Ormerod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who works with adults facing trauma, family stress, and major life changes. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles in everyday language and practical steps. She focuses on building resilience and clearer self-understanding.
Sessions often include exploring forgiveness, addressing abandonment wounds, and developing healthier relationship patterns. Laurie integrates faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included, while keeping the work grounded and practical.
How Laurie works
Her background includes long experience supporting people through grief, workplace issues, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. She helps clients identify unhelpful patterns like codependency and anger, and work toward more self-love and life purpose. Laurie also supports those managing bipolar symptoms and ADHD-related challenges.
In sessions she blends coaching-style goal setting with therapeutic listening to create manageable steps forward. She helps people practice new ways of responding to stress and improves communication skills for strained relationships. The pace and focus are set by each person’s needs and values.
Laurie’s approach is collaborative and faith-informed when desired. She aims to guide people toward emotional healing and lasting change without jargon. Her practice centers on practical tools, steady support, and empowering clients to make choices that match their goals.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and emotional resilience. One common approach focuses on processing trauma and emotional wounds through paced, supportive conversation that helps reduce the power of painful memories and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes skill building for anxiety, stress, and impulse control through behavioral strategies and clear practice exercises that can be used between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusts methods over time. Clients and the therapist review progress together and shift focus if a different strategy will better meet the person's needs.
Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Laurie offers video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support and brief updates. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent contacts when needed.
