About Laurie
Laurie Kaufmann is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and motivation. Laurie writes plainly and gets to the practical parts of what is causing trouble and what to try next.
Laurie treats everyday problems in straightforward ways. She listens to what a person notices about their thoughts and habits. Then she works with them to test small changes and see what helps. That can mean trying new responses, shifting unhelpful thinking, or using brief focused strategies that fit daily life.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques. That means sessions often pair checking thoughts and behaviors with gentle attention to feelings in the moment. Solution-focused methods are used to identify next steps and build early wins.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Laurie emphasizes skills people can use between meetings, like thought records, short mindfulness practices, and communication experiments. She also talks about how to handle setbacks and keep progress steady.
People who want direct, structured help with mood, motivation, parenting stress, or grief may find this style useful. Laurie works in English and practices in North Carolina. Prospective clients are invited to review online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered and mindfulness techniques in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, low motivation, and parenting-related stress.Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting what a person notices about their story, which helps people feel understood and clarify goals. Mindfulness techniques teach short practices for noticing emotions and body signals, useful for managing grief, rumination, and overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She combines strategies and adjusts them as progress unfolds.
