Online support

How Laurie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on building a trusting conversation. It helps when someone needs listening, validation, and a chance to shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will discuss options and adapt methods to fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means choosing techniques that feel manageable and testing what helps over time in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls let people use visual cues during conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving between sessions.
