About Laurie
Laurie Ormerod is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on practical support for parents and adults facing big life changes. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work often centers on parenting challenges, trauma recovery, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She mixes coaching elements with psychotherapy to help people set realistic goals and try small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing patterns like codependency or avoidance.
Background and approach
Laurie often addresses the emotional fallout of abandonment, forgiveness work, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating career stress, workplace issues, and questions about life purpose. Her approach tends to be practical: identify a problem, name clear next steps, and practice new habits between sessions.
With 12 years of clinical experience, Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide therapy without promising quick fixes. She encourages self-love and steady progress rather than perfection. Parents can expect conversational, goal-focused sessions that fit daily life demands.
Laurie conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works within a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled after completing a brief matching questionnaire and arranging times that fit the client's schedule.

Practical therapy approaches for parenting and life change
Laurie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life problem solving. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies and small habit changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle day-to-day parenting demands. This method breaks larger goals into tiny steps and practices that fit into a busy routine.Another strand of work addresses trauma and abandonment wounds through paced processing and safety-building exercises. These sessions aim to help people name difficult experiences, reduce overwhelming reactions, and learn more helpful ways to respond in relationships and parenting moments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Laurie works with each person to identify goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust the plan over time. She balances coaching-style guidance with therapeutic support so people can test strategies and notice what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility for parents and working adults. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or to get support without scheduling a full session. These options help therapy fit into daily life and make ongoing progress more practical.
