About Laurie
Laurie Carlton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and anger. Laurie also supports people dealing with sleep problems, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and major life transitions.
Clients can expect a practical, down-to-earth approach. Laurie views each person as the expert on their life and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help with thinking patterns and emotional regulation.
In sessions Laurie uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills for intense emotions and impulsive responses. She blends these with CBT strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors in daily life. Mindfulness practices are introduced to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Laurie often helps people with relationship communication, codependency, and commitment concerns. She also supports work-related stress, first responder issues, and challenges tied to grief, trauma, or substance use. Her work addresses practical problems such as sleep disruption, anger management, and coping with career changes.
People who choose Laurie tend to want clear tools and straightforward guidance. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. The process is set up so people can begin working on concrete goals from the first meetings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavior changes to see what works. DBT focuses on concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing better interpersonal balance.Mindfulness practice is often added to build present-moment awareness and reduce impulsive reactions. Short mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques are taught so people can use them during stressful moments or between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
