About Laurie
Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and family concerns. She also addresses addictions, eating and food-related issues, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem.
Laurie uses clear conversation and practical exercises in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and traces patterns back to earlier family experiences when that is helpful. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals and building coping skills that a person can use between visits.
She draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Laurie also uses mindfulness and existential approaches to help people notice their values and make choices that matter to them. For parents or adults concerned about family of origin issues, she helps name repeating roles and expectations and work toward different patterns.
Her background includes work with children, adolescents, and adults in school and clinical settings. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style that prioritizes doable steps. To begin, she asks people to identify one or two problems they want to change and then builds from there.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Laurie uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's perspective and goals; this approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns that contribute to mood or behavior problems and to practice alternative ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered to teach strategies for managing intense emotions and handling conflict more effectively.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and help decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to work well over distance while focusing on concrete, practical steps that can be used between sessions.
