How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Laurie combines cognitive psychodynamic ideas with energy-focused practices and mindfulness. Cognitive psychodynamic approaches look at how past relationship patterns affect current feelings and behavior, helping people notice recurring responses and try new ways of relating. Energy-focused methods such as tapping and brief centering practices aim to calm intense emotions so people can think and act differently in moments of stress or after trauma.Finding the right mix of techniques is a team effort. Laurie will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps people learn skills that translate into daily life and relationships.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions so the work remains focused on emotional regulation, communication skills, and practical steps toward change.
