Online support

Approaches to change you can use online

Laurie blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make changes that matter. Client-centered work means conversations begin with the person’s experience and goals, with the therapist following the client’s lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical alternatives to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

She also brings in mindfulness practices to help reduce overwhelm and improve focus. These are short exercises in attention and breathing that can be practiced between sessions to steady emotions and increase awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and an option when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
