About Laurie
Laurie Norris is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures, relationship strains, and long-standing family patterns. Laurie also addresses issues such as ADHD, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
She uses everyday language to help people notice how the family they grew up in still shapes decisions now. Sessions focus on identifying repeating roles, expectations, and attachment patterns that influence how someone relates to others and themselves. Laurie helps people name what gets stuck and try different ways of responding.
Her background includes work across multiple settings supporting people through loss, life changes, and caregiving stress. Laurie draws on approaches that encourage exploration of feelings and practical skill building so people can manage symptoms and make clearer choices. She aims to help clients increase emotional awareness and reduce unhelpful patterns.
In sessions she mixes talk, reflective questions, and exercises that practice new behaviors. She may introduce mindfulness work to calm strong reactions and CBT strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, boundaries, and trust.
People who come to Laurie are often looking to understand how their family of origin affects current relationships. She supports those wanting clearer boundaries, better sleep, or relief from persistent worry. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How Laurie uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and distance people learned early on. It helps when someone wants to understand how family roles affect current relationships and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to calm strong reactions and increase present-moment awareness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with clients to identify which approaches fit their needs and goals. She invites people to try techniques in-session and practice them between meetings to see what helps most.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time so people can schedule visits around work and family obligations. The practical aim is to help apply therapeutic tools in everyday life while selecting formats that match each person’s schedule and preferences.
