Laurie Orbeck is a licensed independent clinical social worker practicing in Minnesota who has spent three decades working within social services. For the past 19 years she has focused on providing therapy to adults and teens, bringing long-term experience in helping people navigate difficult moments.
Her therapeutic approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while drawing on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused therapy, strength-based methods, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. She blends these tools to create practical, skills-based treatment tailored to each person’s needs.
Laurie approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective and views the role of therapist as a privileged position. Her aim is to build on clients' existing resources and help them develop strategies to manage life’s challenges, supporting growth and resilience over time.
Many people wonder whether working with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options makes it easier to schedule care around everyday responsibilities.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible, effective way to address common mental health and life challenges.
