How Laurie’s Approaches Work Online

Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical steps. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and self-doubt. Another approach focuses on processing the emotional impact of trauma and abuse through careful, paced conversations that reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.

Choosing the right way to work is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, discuss options, and adapt approaches as needed. Clients and the therapist review progress together and change course if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging lets clients keep up work between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact and maintain momentum during change.
