About Laurie
Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, trauma, grief, and other life disruptions. Laurie aims to make therapy fit into busy lives through flexible online and phone options.
She creates a calm space where clients can pause and reflect. Sessions concentrate on practical ways to feel steadier and more understood. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will make life more manageable day to day.
Background and approach
Laurie uses methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, using mindfulness to slow down, or telling the story of painful events in a new way. She also draws on motivational approaches to support change when needed.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating struggles, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and first responder or veteran-related stress. She also helps with body image, control issues, guilt, forgiveness, and finding purpose during midlife transitions. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match each person’s needs.
Laurie encourages a collaborative approach where goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. The focus is on realistic steps that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to stress, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms by testing new behaviors and perspectives.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice feelings and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. Simple mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, focus, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will choose or combine approaches that fit the client’s needs and adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or shifting schedules.
