About Laurie
Laurie Jolly is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, licensed in Michigan with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Laurie also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy difficulties, addictions, grief, anger, and questions about life purpose.
She emphasizes practical, structured work that helps people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Laurie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with attachment-focused and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying new responses, and building skills that fit daily life.
Laurie uses straightforward conversation to map what’s contributing to the problem. She helps clients track thoughts, test assumptions, and practice different behaviors between sessions. When relationships are involved she pays attention to attachment patterns and communication skills.
Her approach balances teaching concrete strategies with listening to each person’s priorities. Laurie helps with short-term goals like managing panic or mood swings and longer-term issues such as rebuilding after trauma or sorting complex family situations. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Laurie applies CBT and related approaches online
Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small, testable changes. CBT is useful for issues like anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and patterns that affect daily functioning.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept uncomfortable feelings while still taking action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy shows up when relationship patterns and early bonds shape current conflicts and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will review symptoms, goals, and preferences with each person and discuss whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix makes the most sense. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
