Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Client-centered work is a core element of Laurie’s approach. This style places the individual’s perspective and goals at the center of the process, with the therapist reflecting and responding to what emerges in conversation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship dynamics or strong feelings are central; it helps name and work with emotional responses in the moment. Those who prefer a collaborative pace where feelings and priorities guide each session may find this combination aligns with their needs.Narrative Therapy and psychodynamic ideas are also part of Laurie’s toolkit. Narrative techniques support examining and reshaping the stories people tell about themselves, while psychodynamic work explores patterns and early influences that can shape present reactions. In virtual practice, these approaches are adapted to conversational formats. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and the format is selected together to fit the person’s communication preference and therapeutic aims.
