Laurie is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Sessions are conducted in English and she brings decades of clinical experience to conversations about healing and growth.
Integrating practical tools and present-moment work online
Laurie uses approaches that combine talking work with body-based techniques. Cognitive psychodynamic ideas look at how past patterns affect present behavior and help people reframe long-held thoughts that cause distress. Energy psychology, including tapping/EFT, involves gentle, body-focused methods to reduce intense emotional spikes, which can be helpful for panic and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist discuss which techniques feel useful and adjust the plan over time in a shared way.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into life. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins between obligations, and make it simpler to continue work during busy weeks. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know how you will meet. The focus is on practical, achievable steps to manage symptoms, improve communication, and build confidence while working within your everyday schedule.
