About Laurie
Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices in Louisiana and focuses on practical strategies for people coping with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Laurie writes clearly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help people make small changes that add up. Sessions often include steps to spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and build better daily routines.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are introduced to help reduce reactivity and increase calm in tense moments. Laurie brings a background in education to her work, drawn from more than a decade in the classroom before counseling. That experience shapes her approach to teaching new skills in simple, usable ways.
People commonly work on communication problems, codependency patterns, caregiver stress, and challenges around parenting. Her style is warm and collaborative. Together with each client she sets clear goals and checks progress.
The focus is on what works now - practical steps to handle cravings, manage anger, recover from grief, or navigate job and relationship stress. Therapy can include short-term solution-focused work or longer problem-solving and skill-building. Laurie offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their day-to-day life.

Practical therapy approaches for use online
Laurie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT helps people notice patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and replace them with clearer, more useful responses.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help reduce reactivity and make it easier to pause before responding during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Laurie will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean short, focused work on one problem or ongoing skill-building over several months.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and role play. Phone sessions can be a good option when low bandwidth is needed or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, use brief exercises, or have shorter check-ins during a work break. These options support continuity and flexibility so therapy can move forward even when schedules are tight.
