Laurie Andrews, LCSW

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Laurie often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and responses. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way and supports building different, healthier patterns in relationships and self-view.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. That approach creates space for people to explore feelings at their own pace and to set goals that matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used selectively to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice small behavior changes that improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Laurie talks with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggests which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques if something is not working well for the person.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat lets people check in between sessions or have shorter updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across different locations.
