Laurie Laman, LPC

Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on reducing stress and managing anxiety. She greets clients with a warm, respectful approach and aims to build a collaborative working relationship. Laurie keeps sessions focused on practical changes and manageable goals. She speaks English and brings five years of clinical experience to her work.

Laurie helps people who are facing depression, panic, social anxiety, anger, and low motivation. She also supports those dealing with eating and food-related issues, substance use concerns, trauma and grief, and family-origin problems. Her approach is grounded in clear, everyday conversation and skill-building rather than jargon or lengthy theory.

In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to follow each person's lead while offering tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness practices and existential conversations about meaning and values also appear when they fit a client's goals. Together these methods aim to reduce intense emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and strengthen coping skills.

Laurie has experience working with at-risk youth as well as adolescents and adults in school and clinical settings. She focuses on making therapy approachable and practical so people can use what they learn between sessions. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on availability.

Starting therapy can feel hard and brave, and Laurie emphasizes respect and collaboration throughout the process. She works with clients in Texas and provides care in English.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to you, helps you name concerns, and supports your own choices about goals and change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will talk with clients about what feels useful and then blend methods to suit individual needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which tools to try and how to adapt them over time.

Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from another location. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and offer options for people who prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT skills, and client-centered work to the online setting so sessions focus on skill practice, problem solving, and planning for everyday situations.
