Approaches that guide online care

Laurie combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Attachment-Based and client-centered approaches to guide her work. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the ongoing impact of past harm, often using techniques that build safety and pacing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating. Client-centered work means sessions are guided by the person’s concerns and goals, with the therapist following the client’s lead.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurie works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in about what feels useful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
