Background and approach
Conversations aim to build skills you can use between sessions.

The emphasis is on building self-love and stronger daily habits. Her style is collaborative and supportive. Laurie listens closely, offers tools that match each person's situation, and adjusts the pace to what feels manageable.
Sessions are practical and oriented toward change rather than long explanations. People who choose her often want a steady, experienced guide to help them move forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-life change. One common approach involves skill-building for anxiety and stress management - learning coping exercises, breathing and re-framing tools that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. A second approach centers on relationship and communication work - helping people identify unhelpful patterns, practice clearer expression, and try different interaction strategies to improve connection and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust those techniques as therapy progresses so the work fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and help sustain progress over time.
