Laurie Ford, LCMHC, is a Christian therapist, ministry leader, speaker, and mentor with over 16 years of experience in behavioral health. She supports women and men who are navigating major life transitions, questions of identity and self-worth, the impact of trauma, and the weight of grief, offering faith-based counseling that centers emotional healing and practical growth.
As the founder of Crowned For This Counseling and Consulting PLLC, Laurie blends professional mental health care with biblical wisdom to create a supportive space for reflection and change. Her work focuses on helping individuals process what they have been through, reconnect with a stronger sense of purpose and identity, and move forward with greater clarity, strength, and confidence.
Laurie Ford uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients working through life transitions, grief, trauma, and questions of identity and self-worth. In practice, evidence-based work often includes learning concrete coping skills for stress and anxiety, building insight into patterns that affect relationships, and practicing new ways to respond when emotions feel overwhelming.
Another key part of evidence-based therapy is creating a structured, goal-oriented process. That structure can be especially helpful when someone is trying to regain direction after a loss, strengthen self-esteem, or move through painful experiences at a manageable pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work, and it does not have to be figured out in advance. Laurie collaborates with each client to clarify what they want to change, what has or has not worked before, and what feels aligned with their values and preferences so therapy can be tailored to their needs.
Online therapy also makes it easier to keep momentum. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times when getting to an office is not realistic.
