About Laurie
Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, eating issues, family problems, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and parenting challenges.
Laurie uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered listening, DBT skills, existential questions, and mindfulness practices where they fit.
In sessions she helps people set clear goals and try small changes between meetings. Conversations focus on what is causing the problem now, what patterns keep it going, and which steps could reduce distress. She guides skills practice for emotion regulation, coping with cravings, managing anger, and changing unhelpful thinking.
Laurie has experience working in schools and clinical settings with a range of ages and needs. Her background includes work with at-risk youth and people facing substance use and eating problems. That experience informs a practical approach to problem solving and skill building.
She asks clients to identify specific goals and tracks progress over time. Early sessions typically gather background, clarify priorities, and begin teaching skills. Later sessions focus on practicing strategies, troubleshooting setbacks, and planning for maintenance.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC scope of practice in Texas. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site match process to schedule an initial appointment.
How Laurie Uses Structured Approaches Online
Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety, depression, or cravings. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - noticing thought habits, testing alternative thoughts, and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy by listening closely and reflecting what a person says to clarify goals. That approach helps create a collaborative setting where the client's priorities shape the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns; DBT offers step-by-step skills for those situations.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Laurie will work together with each person to choose which methods make sense based on goals, current problems, and preferences. This is a collaborative decision that can change as needs evolve.
