How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Laurie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety, grief, and strained family relationships. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of interaction. This involves tracking repeated behaviors, testing new responses, and practicing small changes between sessions to see what helps.Another approach emphasizes strengthening communication skills and managing caregiver or parenting stress. Sessions may include role-play, clear steps for setting boundaries, and short behavioral experiments to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and current life demands. She adjusts plans as people try things and report back on what works.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quieter check-ins when needed, or permit shorter sessions for focused problem-solving.
