Focus areas and approaches

Everything Laureen lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based work online and how it helps

Laureen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and real-life changes. One common approach helps people learn tools to manage anxiety and panic - breathing and grounding practices, plus steps to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. This work is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent worry.

Another approach focuses on processing traumatic events and their emotional impact in manageable steps. It guides people to make sense of distressing memories, reduce overwhelming reactions, and rebuild a sense of safety in daily life. This can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laureen will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. She treats selection of techniques as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as needed to fit each person's pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Chat and messaging suit brief updates, check-ins, or times when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
