About Laurie
Laurie White is a Kansas-licensed social worker, LSCSW, with eight years of professional experience helping adults navigate relationship and family concerns. She works with people facing addictions, parenting challenges, and the lingering effects of trauma and abuse. Laurie also addresses anxiety, depression, grief, and stress related to life transitions.
Her approach centers on clear, practical conversation. Sessions focus on patterns that began in the family of origin and how those patterns show up now. She helps clients spot unhelpful cycles, test small changes, and build everyday strategies that feel doable.
Laurie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape adult relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are included when clients need tools for emotion regulation and grounding.
In work with parenting and blended family issues she helps people set limits, communicate expectations, and reduce repeated conflict. With addictions and codependency concerns she brings motivational interviewing elements to support clearer choices and sustained action.
She speaks English and practices in Kansas. People who want a straightforward, skills-focused process that addresses both current struggles and their roots in family patterns often find this style useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect how people connect now. In an online setting this often means talking through relationship patterns and practicing new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. Online sessions can be used to set concrete goals, try new responses between meetings, and review what worked or did not.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether attachment ideas, CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness practices will best address their goals. That decision changes over time as needs and priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or choose a phone meeting if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in real situations without major travel.
