How Laurie’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. In online sessions this can help people identify repeating patterns in friendships and romantic relationships and try new ways of relating.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. It helps people feel heard, build self-compassion, and find their own priorities for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend ways of working together. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual sessions help them maintain consistency while balancing family, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
