She focuses on helping people who are wrestling with anxiety, panic attacks, addictions, depression, and major life changes. Laurie aims to meet clients where they are and talk through realistic ways to feel more steady day to day.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting dialogue. It focuses on understanding each person's experience and shaping sessions around what they say matters most, which can help with anxiety and confidence issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It breaks down panic, phobias, and anxiety into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms over time.
Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their own reasons for change. It uses focused conversation to build motivation and commitment, which is often useful for addictions or when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress and new concerns appear, keeping the work collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real life between sessions and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
