How Laurie works
Laurie also helps those facing aging and geriatric concerns, loneliness, and the search for life purpose. She works with young adults on issues of identity, self-esteem, and social anxiety. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients name what matters most.
Together they create realistic steps to reduce distress and build stronger coping skills. Laurie emphasizes skills that can be used between appointments to manage daily pressures. Her approach centers on collaboration and empathy rather than long lectures or complex jargon.
She aims to make progress feel achievable and relevant to the client’s real life. Laurie views therapy as a partnership focused on increasing resilience and self-compassion. Clients who want clear, practical strategies and steady emotional support may find her style useful.
She practices in Connecticut as an LCSW and brings a calm, encouraging presence to the work.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting them toward more balanced thinking to reduce worry and low mood. This helps when anxious thinking or negative self-talk get in the way of daily life.Another practical approach centers on building coping skills and routines. That may include stress management tools, activity planning to boost mood, and communication practice to improve relationships and reduce conflict. These techniques are aimed at usable changes that fit into everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what’s working and what isn’t.
