About Laurie

Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of practice in Texas. She frames therapy as a practical space to pause and rebuild balance when life feels overwhelming. Laurie approaches sessions with warmth and straightforward care to help people feel more grounded and understood.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and addictions with methods that fit each person’s needs. Laurie also supports those coping with trauma, grief, depression, and difficulties around relationships, intimacy, sleep, and anger. Eating and body image concerns are among the areas she addresses as part of overall wellbeing.

Laurie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to create clear, actionable steps. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative approaches to help clients make changes and reframe difficult stories about themselves. Sessions focus on practical skills, thought patterns, and everyday strategies that can be used between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then offers techniques that feel realistic for daily life. People who want a mix of empathy and structure may find this approach helpful.

Laurie offers multiple ways to connect, including online teletherapy, phone, and text messaging. If you prefer a particular format, confirm current session options before scheduling to make sure they fit your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions to stress, grief, and relationship struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations. It can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress, anger, and body-image concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try techniques that feel useful. If something doesn’t fit, the plan is adjusted together to find a better match.

Laurie offers online teletherapy, phone, and text messaging as ways to meet. Confirm current session options before booking to be sure they match your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping continuity of care.
