Online support

How Laurel’s Approaches Work Online

Laurel uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT can be useful for people struggling with intense feelings, loss, or difficulty connecting with their own needs. Client-centered therapy keeps the session focused on the person’s priorities and experience, emphasizing listening, empathy, and the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides practical exercises and thought-work to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful behaviors.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Laurel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which combination of strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistent care and try approaches that suit individual routines.
