How Laurie Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment; it helps people feel heard and work toward goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and gives simple exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety or phobias. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices that reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie treats the choice of methods as a collaborative project. She will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with tight schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep consistent care while life is busy.
