About Lauri
Lauri Maynard is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She brings 22 years of clinical experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. Lauri emphasizes steady, usable tools that fit everyday life.
She uses a whole-person perspective that looks at feelings, body awareness, and daily habits. Sessions focus on problem solving, skill building, and noticing patterns that keep someone stuck.
Background and approach
Lauri aims to help people rebuild energy after burnout and find a clearer sense of purpose. Her work often addresses issues related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, communication struggles, and control concerns. She also helps people who feel isolated, empty, or stuck in guilt and shame.
Topics include social anxiety, midlife questions, women’s issues, and challenges facing young adults. Lauri describes the therapy relationship as collaborative. She helps clients develop self-acceptance, improve communication, and reduce anxiety through practical exercises and reflection.
The pace is adjusted to each person’s needs and life situation. Clients can expect straightforward skill practice and attention to the mind-body connection. The goal is to build resilience and more options for living, not just short-term coping.
Lauri works from Connecticut and conducts sessions in English.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many clients find benefit from approaches that combine practical skills with awareness of how the body and mind interact. One approach emphasizes skill building for anxiety and depression through structured exercises and problem solving to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning. Another approach pays attention to the mind-body connection, teaching breathing, grounding, and body-awareness techniques to help with burnout, compassion fatigue, and stress regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This means goals and strategies are shaped by the client’s needs, preferences, and life demands rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between appointments and keep therapy going when a longer session is not possible. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
