About Laurel
Laurel Meine is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. Laurel works with adults facing difficult life chapters and complicated feelings tied to relationships, loss, and behavior patterns.
Her sessions are straightforward and centered on the person's needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps with painful relationship patterns and strong emotions.
Laurel also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance problems. She supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, eating struggles, and age-related concerns. Her work often combines practical skills with close attention to feelings behind behavior.
The approach in sessions is collaborative. Laurel helps people name what feels stuck, test small changes, and notice the effects. Conversations are paced to each person's comfort, with space for both practical problem solving and emotional processing.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping a person name concerns and decide what to work on next. This approach is useful for sorting guilt, shame, and emotional weight that feel confusing or overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and patterns by testing small behavior changes and practicing different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that feed shame or avoidance.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at strong emotions and how they shape close relationships, helping people recognize patterns and shift how they relate to others and themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. That collaborative process helps shape sessions over time.
