About Laurie
Laurie Speed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her style is calm and direct, and she aims to make therapy clear and accessible for people feeling overwhelmed.
Laurie combines emotional understanding with practical tools. She helps clients build self-love, improve how they communicate, and cope with isolation or caregiver strain.
Background and approach
She also guides people through forgiveness, guilt, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape relationships and internal experience. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and narrative therapy to help people reframe their life stories.
These approaches are used to make sense of painful experiences and to find workable next steps. Laurie’s sessions are warm and goal-oriented. She listens for what matters most to the client and then offers simple practices to try between sessions.
Progress is measured in small, practical changes like calmer sleep, fewer intrusive thoughts, or clearer conversations with others. She practices from Texas and conducts sessions in English. People who prefer a faith-informed perspective may find her approach resonates, and she adapts therapy to individual values and needs.

How Emotion-Focused and Client-Centered Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name big emotions and the patterns those feelings create. It is useful for sorting painful reactions to loss, trauma, or intense stress by focusing on the experience of feeling itself. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and lets the therapist follow what matters most to the client, which is helpful when someone feels stuck or unheard.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Laurie will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made and needs shift.
Online sessions offer flexibility and options. Video calls let people see facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or when written reflection feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
