How Laurie Uses Practical Therapies Online
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world skills and emotional regulation. One approach emphasizes skill-building for managing strong emotions and anger, teaching specific steps people can use in heated moments to reduce reactivity and regain control. Another approach centers on coping strategies for anxiety and depression, helping people break problems into manageable tasks and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with each person to identify goals, tries different techniques when needed, and adjusts plans based on what feels most helpful. She treats the client as the expert on their life and brings practical tools to test between sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules and to keep momentum while working toward change.
