About Laurie
Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, self-esteem, relationships, family concerns, trauma and grief. Sessions are focused on practical skills and direct conversation about what is causing distress.
Laurie uses a mix of well-known approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high.
Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style, which means she listens to what the person needs and responds without judgment. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to improve moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Laurie also weaves in elements of Existential Therapy to help people examine personal values and meaning when that is relevant.
Her work with anger looks at triggers, the thoughts behind reactions, and practical ways to respond differently. For addictions and eating issues she focuses on motivation and concrete steps toward healthier choices. Family of origin and family problems are addressed by talking through patterns and roles that continue to cause strain.
Laurie has experience in academic and clinical settings and has worked with at-risk youth in the past. She conducts sessions in English and practices in Texas. People considering work on temper, resentment, or frustration will find a direct, skills-based approach with attention to values and coping strategies.
