Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Laurie uses evidence-informed approaches to guide online therapy in ways that match each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses; it helps people address patterns of closeness, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead, supporting self-exploration and strengthening personal resources to face life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laurie works collaboratively to determine which methods best fit a client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they evaluate what feels most effective and adjust the plan over time to support progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduced travel time, and consistent access to care from different settings. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different communication formats, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life with greater convenience.
