Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, then experimenting with small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning. This work helps with anxiety, stress, and difficult routines at home.Another strand of her work helps people process grief and life transitions through step-by-step coping strategies. That may include normalizing feelings, creating manageable routines, and planning gradual shifts in roles such as caregiving or changing household responsibilities. This approach is aimed at restoring routine and emotional balance rather than promising quick fixes.
Finding the right method is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match each person’s goals, preferences, and needs. The therapist will check in and adjust methods over time so the plan stays practical and useful.
