How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside mind-body ideas. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and self-critical beliefs. Mind-body strategies focus on simple practices that connect breathing and movement to mood, useful for panic, stress, and grounding during moments of overwhelm.Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Laurie and the client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If something does not help, they adjust the plan and try other techniques together.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them explicitly. The practical advantage of meeting remotely is fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid a commute, and bring what’s happening in everyday life into the conversation without promising a specific format.
