About Laurie
Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with twelve years of counseling experience. She draws on straightforward, practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday strains of parenting and caregiving. Laurie writes and talks in a warm, encouraging way that aims to make reaching out feel doable.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into clear steps.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help slow racing thoughts and steady attention. Laurie adapts what she offers to each person instead of using one fixed method. Her background includes more than a decade in education before moving into counseling work.
That classroom experience shapes the way she explains ideas, teaches coping skills, and practices patience when people are learning new habits. She aims to make strategies practical and usable in daily life. Laurie helps with a broad range of concerns including relationship strain, family-related stress, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and ADHD.
She also focuses on caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems that often complicate other struggles. In sessions she invites people to set clear goals and track small changes. The work is collaborative - she listens, offers tools, and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.
People who prefer concrete steps and calm, direct guidance tend to find her approach accessible.
Practical approaches for online care and better focus
Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change the behaviors that follow. CBT focuses on clear steps and homework tasks, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and improving daily routines.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness helps when thoughts race or when emotions feel overwhelming, and it pairs well with skill-building work from CBT.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Laurie works with clients to set goals, try different techniques, and decide together which methods fit best with the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative search helps tailor sessions over time rather than committing to a single method up front.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other daily demands.
