    About Louise

    Louise Laine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She takes a client-led approach that focuses on what matters most to each person. Conversations move at a comfortable pace and center on the client's goals and values.

    Over her career Louise has worked in private practice, education, and career settings. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. Sessions aim to identify small, practical steps that make daily life easier and more meaningful.

    Many clients come for help with relationships, parenting, addiction concerns, or struggle with self-esteem and career decisions. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, forgiveness work, and questions about life purpose. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to emotional safety and realistic change.

    Louise combines attention to feeling with strategies for action. She helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build coping skills for panic, social anxiety, and anger. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen motivation and clarify personal reasons for change.

    Based in Michigan, Louise works in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so sessions can be tailored to each person's situation and goals.

  2. How her approaches work in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses guided conversation to build motivation and set realistic next steps, which can help with addictions, low motivation, or stalled goals.

    Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead to create a respectful, paced process useful for grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps identify unhelpful thinking and introduces small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That process can shift as needs change over time.

    Online therapy can make it easier to attend regular sessions, fit appointments around work or caregiving, and try short check-ins when time is limited. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and for applying new skills in real life.
