About Laurie Norris
Laurie Norris is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions and emotional challenges. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting and family issues, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her practice also focuses on attachment-related concerns, abandonment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, life purpose and midlife transitions, mood disorders, and panic attacks.
Laurie frames emotional struggle as part of a larger journey - like moving through a river where obstacles and changing currents can disrupt direction and connection. She emphasizes that people already possess strengths and capacities that can be developed to regain forward motion and make intentional choices. In sessions she aims to build a supportive therapeutic relationship that fosters greater competence, resilience, and clarity about next steps.
Her clinical approach integrates attachment-focused work, client-centered practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused strategies, and mindfulness when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person or family. Laurie offers care in English and practices from a values-driven, empathetic stance to help clients navigate the practical and emotional aspects of their lives in Michigan.

Approaches That Guide Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and security in relationships. It helps clients explore how early bonds shape current feelings and interactions and can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and abandonment concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches strategies to shift them. CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, sleep struggles, and many everyday coping challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, creating space for self-exploration and strengthening self-trust, which can support work on self-esteem, life transitions, and caregiving stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Laurie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging that make it easier to access consistent care from home or on the go. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular support, adapt scheduling to busy lives, and maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
