About Laurie
Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Laurie structures sessions so they fit into daily life. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different responses. Her work draws on client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that fuel frustration and conflict.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and lower reactivity. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs help finding the motivation to change addictive patterns. Narrative methods are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships.
Clients who struggle with anger are offered straightforward skills work and focused conversation. That can include learning to name physical signs of rising anger, testing small behavior changes, and practicing alternative responses. The pace is collaborative and practical rather than theoretical.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Laurie notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. For session formats, readers should confirm current options before booking if they need specific arrangements.
How Laurie Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Laurie draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as primary tools in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them; it helps when someone needs space to talk through anger and stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns like automatic angry responses.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help slow down bodily reactions and reduce impulsive responses. Mindfulness practice can be short and practical, such as grounding exercises or breath work to use when tension rises. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; Laurie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life needs.
