About Laurie
Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and related issues. She brings five years of clinical experience and a calm, respectful manner to sessions. Laurie aims to help parents feel more confident and regain a sense of balance during challenging periods.
Her approach centers on listening first and building goals together. Clients can expect a warm, collaborative process that names problems clearly and sets small, practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Laurie uses evidence-informed techniques to address symptoms like anxiety, low mood, anger, and difficulties around food or substance use. She also addresses family and family-of-origin problems, helping people untangle patterns that affect daily life. Conversations can include setting boundaries, improving self-worth, or coping with grief and trauma.
Laurie emphasizes skills people can practice between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment time. Laurie’s background includes work in academic and clinical settings over five years, including time with at-risk youth. That experience informs her practical focus and ability to explain tools simply.
She frames therapy as a partnership where clients’ values and goals guide decisions. Many sessions include skill-building from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches, alongside client-centered support and strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. Laurie helps people find realistic ways to manage triggers and build better daily routines.
Her aim is to make therapy feel doable and useful for busy parents.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people identify their own goals. It is useful for parents who want a supportive space to talk through parenting decisions and emotional strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and includes homework to practice new skills between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anger, strong emotions, or relationship conflicts feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant. Clients collaborate on what to try first and review progress together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help parents fit therapy into busy schedules and choose the format that works best for them.
