Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps the client explore their own goals and values. This approach supports people who want a respectful, person-driven process for understanding emotions and making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is often used to build concrete coping strategies and to test new ways of responding to difficult situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to teach skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laurie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the work so it fits each person’s pace and priorities.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and can help people access licensed professionals and therapists from their own communities when in-person visits are not practical.
