About Laurie

She has ten years of professional experience and works with each person to meet their specific needs. Laurie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens to what matters most and builds a plan together. Sessions focus on concrete steps, coping strategies, and clearer thinking about next moves.

Background and approach

Laurie adapts conversations to each person's pace. She offers straightforward feedback and helps people find small wins. This can mean short-term coping tools or longer-term work on confidence and decision making.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work and licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with an earlier CSW credential. Laurie has practiced in different care settings and brings that experience into sessions to help people facing transitions, caregiving stress, or end-of-life concerns. People often come to work through feelings of isolation, guilt, or difficulty with family of origin issues.

Laurie helps break those problems into manageable steps and supports clients as they try new approaches. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their life and values.

Online support

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways that help people cope and make changes. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps that reduce stress and make daily life more manageable. This is useful for grief, compassion fatigue, and sudden life transitions.

Another common method emphasizes building self-esteem through small, repeatable actions and noticing progress. These practices help with confidence, commitment issues, and feelings of shame or guilt by creating clear goals and reviewing what worked. Both approaches are applied in simple, step-by-step sessions rather than abstract theory.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try options, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to find methods that match the client’s needs, pace, and preferences.

Online therapy makes these techniques easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings, or shorter follow-ups while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
