About Laurie
Laurie White is a KS LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker with eight years of practice in Kansas. She works with adults on problems such as addictions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, grief, sleep issues, and anger. Laurie also supports people navigating career changes, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior links. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness tools are used when clients need skills for strong emotions and distress tolerance.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Laurie listens for what is getting in the way day to day and helps people practice new ways of responding. She pays attention to communication patterns, control issues, and problems like codependency or caregiver stress that often make anger and frustration worse.
People often come with a specific problem and leave with concrete strategies they can try between sessions. She works through parenting stress, blended family challenges, and breakup or divorce transitions with an eye to workable steps rather than abstract theories.
Laurie asks clients to select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and services are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions. Online work with this approach often focuses on noticing patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT can include short exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, with concrete tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as new issues emerge, so therapy stays practical and goal oriented.
