04Online support
Practical Approaches for Online Care
Laurie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT gives concrete exercises and homework to change patterns that cause distress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT techniques are useful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time to find what works best together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people meet face-to-face; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing connection between longer sessions. These options help fit care into work, parenting, or other busy schedules.
