Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and patterns of connection influence current feelings and behavior. This approach can help clients understand abandonment and attachment issues and improve how they relate to partners and family members.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and experiences. The therapist provides empathic listening and supports clients in finding their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and patterns related to addiction by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurie will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from home or on the go, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
