Online support
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a straightforward way. One common approach focuses on symptom management and coping skills - teaching concrete strategies for anxiety, stress, and depression so people can feel steadier day to day. Another approach centers on processing trauma and painful memories carefully, helping people make sense of what happened and reduce its hold on daily life.Choosing the right approach is often a team effort. Laurie will work with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, trauma processing, faith-informed reflection, or a mix of strategies as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit a short break or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or get brief support without a full session. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other commitments.
