    About Laurie

    Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses a warm, respectful style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. She combines practical skills with a collaborative approach to help clients set goals and make gradual changes. Laurie emphasizes listening first and then helping people find what works for them.

    She has five years of experience in schools and clinical settings, supporting clients with addictions, eating and food-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Laurie also helps people who struggle with motivation and parenting stress. Her background includes work with at-risk youth, where she focused on building skills that support day-to-day functioning.

    Laurie draws on several approaches, including Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal motivation, Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the person's priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for practical tools to manage thoughts and behavior. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential Therapy when those ideas fit the client's goals.

    In sessions she prioritizes respect and empathy. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with an emphasis on goal-setting and small, achievable steps. Laurie aims to help people build self-love and stronger coping skills over time.

    If you are ready to explore change, she asks clients to share what matters most and then collaborates on a plan. The early sessions focus on understanding the problem and deciding the next steps together.

  2. How these approaches guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by using open questions and reflective listening; it can be helpful for addictions, motivation, and stopping patterns that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers what the person brings to sessions, offering acceptance and empathy so people can explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where strategies are adjusted based on what helps most.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera during some visits. Licensed professionals adapt tools like Motivational Interviewing and CBT so they work over distance and focus on practical steps people can use between sessions.
