Laurie Norris, LMSW

Laurie Norris is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting questions, relationship strain, trauma and related life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and blended family issues.

Laurie uses clear, practical talk to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioral approaches are used to identify thinking and behavior habits that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to slow things down and focus on what matters next.

Sessions focus on concrete steps and small experiments people can try between meetings. Typical conversations include ways to manage anxiety, set boundaries, handle parenting tensions, or cope with grief. She also helps people recognize old family patterns and how those affect current relationships.

Laurie aims to work collaboratively. She helps people make sense of their choices and then tries out new ways of responding. Over time that can change how everyday moments feel.

People who choose her often want practical strategies and gentle challenge. She guides goal-setting, skill practice, and reflection so change is steady and understandable.
