Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and tailor them to each person’s needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many clients benefit from techniques that focus on building coping skills and improving communication. Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses. These approaches are useful for anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and low self-esteem.

Another common focus is grief and life changes, where the work often blends emotional processing with practical problem-solving. Sessions help people name their priorities, test new behaviors, and rebuild routines that support recovery and purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs evolve.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video is helpful for longer, in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
