Laurie Laman

Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings five years of clinical experience and a warm, empathetic presence to sessions. Laurie emphasizes collaboration and practical steps to reduce distress and build healthier routines.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, panic, and low motivation. Laurie also addresses anger, relationship and family problems, grief, and addictions, including drug and alcohol concerns. Eating and food-related issues are part of her focus as well.

Her style is respectful and straightforward. Laurie listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and small, doable steps. Sessions often combine calming, present-moment skills with problem-solving and behavior-focused strategies.

Laurie has worked in academic and clinical settings over the past five years. That background gives her experience with a range of situations and age groups. She aims to teach skills people can use outside the room, not just talk about feelings.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and Laurie acknowledges that. She emphasizes the courage it takes to begin and offers steady support while clients try new ways of coping. The focus is on helping people move toward more satisfying daily life and better self-regard.

How Laurie’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people explore what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and clear guidance on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and motivation by breaking problems into manageable parts.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches coping skills for strong emotions and relationship tensions. It includes techniques for managing distress, improving emotional regulation, and communicating more effectively. DBT skills are often practical and can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. She aims to match methods to the client’s needs and to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools from home to practice new skills between sessions.
