More about Laurie

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LMFT, LPC

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the stated of Louisiana. I have over 11 years of counseling experience, working with adults, children and families struggling with challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions and trauma. I work from a strength-based approach, pulling from theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This integrative approach allows the ability to tailor counseling to meet individual needs. I enjoy helping others explore personal strengths and possibilities, elements that can be important parts of healing, growth and change. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an educator, with over 10 years of classroom experience.

I believe that the counseling process is a collaborative one, and that building rapport is very important. Let's work together to create goals, and move toward meeting these goals. I work from a place of warmth, respect and encouragement. We all face challenges from time to time. Reaching out for support can be the first step in identifying thoughts and behaviors that are not working for us, and can prompt us to explore new paths toward growth.

I welcome working with you on your journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed August 2024

Laurie is honestly a breath of fresh air. She’s highly intelligent, warm, personable, and so much more. She’s also one of the greatest active listeners I’ve ever encountered. Laurie is so understanding and is committed to helping clients in any way she can. It takes a great deal of skill to make sense of all the topics and thoughts that get thrown at Laurie, but she stands tall in making her clients feel validated. I would recommended anyone and everyone to Laurie. Anyone would be in the best hands under her care- whether one is new to therapy or not.

I feel such admiration for Laurie that filling out this survey made me sob like a child. On the day I met her, I knew I didn’t care if my life ended; by my hand or otherwise. Today, after a half-dozen sessions and twice as many messages, Laurie has taught me things that make me want to live for 1,000 years. No amount of money or number on a scale could ever represent that.
