About Laurie
Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices in Louisiana and works with adults on concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, and anger.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Laurie also uses mindfulness exercises to calm racing thoughts and steady reactions.
Laurie’s background includes more than a decade in education before moving into counseling. That experience shaped a practical approach to problem solving and communication. She often helps clients break down bigger issues into manageable tasks and communication practices that fit daily life.
Work in the room is collaborative and goal oriented. Laurie helps people set clear, realistic aims and track progress. She talks through patterns that lead to repeated conflict and offers tools to reduce reactivity and rebuild trust in relationships.
Clients concerned about grief, trauma, addictions, eating issues, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency, intimacy problems, career strain, or compassion fatigue can expect focused sessions. Laurie guides people toward specific skills for coping with change, handling anger, and improving communication.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills for everyday situations.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help slow down strong reactions and increase awareness of moment-to-moment experience. Short mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and make it easier to choose responses rather than react automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie and the client will look at goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. They decide collaboratively whether to focus on thinking patterns with CBT, build short-term solutions, or use mindfulness practices as the main tool.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can fit into busy schedules and make it easier to attend without travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight and let people practice skills between sessions in real-life settings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
