She focuses on identifying patterns that come from the family people grew up in and how those patterns affect current choices. Sessions are conversational and practical. Laurie helps clients notice repeated behaviors, test new ways of relating, and try small changes between meetings.
Her background includes work with caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, abandonment concerns, and end-of-life issues. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and transitions into young adulthood. Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address these concerns in clear, step-by-step ways.
In sessions she pays attention to what feels most useful in the moment and adapts approaches accordingly. She will work with each person to build a plan that fits their goals and daily life.

Approaches for addressing family patterns online
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work which looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep old family patterns in place and teaches ways to test new responses. This can help with self-esteem, anxiety about change, and coping with grief.Another helpful approach is problem-focused counseling that breaks larger issues into manageable tasks. This method helps people who feel stuck by identifying specific actions and small experiments to try between sessions, such as practicing new boundaries or routines.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Laurie will talk through your goals and preferences and pick or combine techniques that make sense for your situation. She adjusts plans based on how methods feel and whether they produce useful change for you.
