She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs.
How Laurie works
That means breaking problems into manageable parts, practicing small changes, and paying attention to how thoughts and relationships affect daily life. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Laurie has worked in counseling for over a decade and draws on prior experience in education.
That background shapes her practical style and her emphasis on clear goals and measurable progress. She helps people address anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and problems with self-esteem and intimacy. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating issues, anger, and career-related stress.
Laurie helps people cope with life changes and rebuild after difficult events. She practices in Louisiana and offers sessions in English. Therapy sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support options
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing techniques that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation. It is useful for stress, compassion fatigue, trauma-related symptoms, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set small, achievable steps and review what works so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a break at work is the only option. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep consistent sessions and apply new skills between meetings.
