About Louise
Louise Laine meets people where they are and helps them make sense of hard seasons. She focuses on practical, doable steps so clients can feel steadier day to day. Louise is an LPC with 25 years of experience in mental health and counseling work in Michigan.
She uses a client-centered approach that follows each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way.
How Louise works
She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and calm amid change. Louise has worked across independent practice, education, and career settings. That range shaped her ability to shift between short-term coaching and longer therapeutic conversations.
Her background helps when concerns include stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or career questions. Typical topics Louise supports include self-esteem, relationships, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, anger, and coping with loss. She also pays special attention to aging and geriatric issues, forgiveness, life purpose, narcissism, panic attacks, social anxiety, and women's issues.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Conversations focus on small changes that build new patterns, skills for facing panic or worry, and practical ways to manage career or parenting pressure. The plan comes from the client and from what actually works in their life.

Online support options
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Louise frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy to let the client's priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and following the pace the person chooses, which helps when someone is unsure where to begin.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, and patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss options and tailor methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and situations. Video calls let visual cues guide the conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
