How Laurie Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Laurie blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort out feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and teaches concrete skills to change them.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their reactions without getting swept away. Mindfulness practices can reduce worry and improve sleep by teaching simple attention skills. Together these approaches give both emotional support and practical tools for managing stress and anxiety.

Finding the right mix is collaborative. Laurie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit their situation. She adapts methods as needs change so the work stays relevant and doable.

The therapist’s biography lists online teletherapy, phone, and text as ways people connect, but confirm current session options before booking. One practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit around work, school, or caregiving - making regular check-ins easier. Phone or text can be shorter and less bandwidth-heavy, while teletherapy can allow face-to-face conversation when desired. These options are often chosen to help therapy fit everyday routines rather than disrupt them.
