About Laurie
Laurie Ormerod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and anger. Her practice also covers stress, relationship problems, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strains, and career matters.
Laurie draws on faith-informed counseling as part of her work. She helps clients name patterns that hurt them, such as codependency or abandonment wounds, and then practices different ways to respond. Sessions include straightforward conversations about values, boundaries, and repair in relationships.
She supports people aiming for more self-understanding and self-love. That can mean working through low self-esteem, setting limits at work, or sorting out life purpose. Laurie also addresses issues tied to bipolar mood challenges and ADHD alongside everyday coping skills.
When trauma or grief is present, Laurie focuses on pacing the work and building emotional skills people can use between sessions. She introduces practical tools for stress and anger so clients can try them in real situations. The approach balances exploration of personal history with concrete steps to reduce reactivity.
People who prefer faith-informed counseling will find that spiritual beliefs may be part of the conversation when desired. Laurie also brings coaching elements for career and life-change goals so clients can move from planning to action.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online work
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques paired with faith-informed counselling. She often focuses on trauma-informed care, which means paying attention to how past harm affects current reactions and teaching skills to manage strong feelings. This helps people who struggle with anger, anxiety, or grief by slowing down reactivity and building tolerable ways to cope.She also incorporates practical coaching methods that break goals into small steps. That approach suits work on career decisions, life transitions, or changing patterns like codependency and avoidance. Sessions typically combine talk with homework-style practice so people can try new behaviors between meetings.
Working together to find the best approach is part of the process. Laurie reviews a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which tools to use and when to shift focus.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commuting time, and allow follow-up conversations without taking as much time away from daily responsibilities. It can also make some check-ins shorter or allow sessions without video when that better fits a person's day.
