How Laurie’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns that repeat in friendships and close connections and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety and depression. It is practical and often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as needs change so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand.
