Written on Jul 21, 2025 after therapy with Laurie for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Laurie is a great listener. Very compassionate and helps me feel seen, heard and validated.
She is amazing at handling delicate situations, even with partners that are not into therapy. She is solution oriented and great at making sure we end the conversation on a good note and a small actionable item if appropriate. She’s an amazing therapist, and I am so thankful to have her as a resource to help me process my life, navigate the ups and downs, and encourage me to keep going.

I had no idea what to expect as I have never looked into online counseling before. This was for my daughter, but I had to speak with Laurie first for intake questions. Just sharing background info and speaking about our issues, I was instantly relieved. I stuttered and talked in circles at first, and she took the lead by asking appropriate questions while being super sensitive. She is a great listener and sounded kind. I felt 100% confident she understood what I needed and is very qualified to counsel. I definitely recommend her, for anyone

Listens and cares about their work! So far in a few weeks in I’ve been able to tackle a lot of the stuff I’m struggling with. It’s nice to have someone un-biased to speak to in a professional manner.

I’ve only had 2 sessions with Laurie so far, but she is very good at giving me tools to help my anxiety and see things from outside perspectives! Glad I was matched with her, she’s exactly what I needed!

Well, so far I have had only two sessions with her and already I feel like I have an educated ally and friend who I can respect and take advice from and who has already been helping me feel heard and hopeful for good change and healing. I like her very much so far! She doesn't have her own agenda and she puts your needs first and is a very good listener! She's like an angel.

Would highly recommend her

Work with me!
