01About Laurie
Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 12 years of counseling experience to her practice. She offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or big life changes. Laurie writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
She uses practical methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Mindfulness strategies are woven in to help with emotion regulation and focus. Laurie adapts her approach to match each person’s situation rather than applying a single method to everyone. Laurie has a background in education and spent more than a decade as a classroom teacher before moving into counseling.
That experience shaped her calm coaching style and her focus on clear, teachable steps people can use between sessions. She draws on skills developed working with adults, children, and families in past roles while keeping work grounded in what the client needs now. Sessions often focus on setting short-term goals, improving communication, and building routines that reduce stress and increase coping.
Laurie also helps people address relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, codependency, and caregiver strain. She takes concerns about trauma, addictions, eating issues, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue seriously and works to make treatment manageable. Laurie practices in Louisiana as an LPC and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential as well.
She offers sessions in English and combines a practical, goal-minded style with warmth and encouragement.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online care
Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus, which helps with emotion regulation and coping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with each person to decide which combination of strategies fits their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is helping and what feels workable in daily life.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or scheduling quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, parenting, and caregiving demands while keeping therapy focused and action-oriented.
