About Laurie
Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas who brings a warm, respectful approach to therapy. She draws on five years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship or family difficulties.

Laurie emphasizes clear goals and simple strategies. She uses client-centered listening so people feel heard, and combines that with evidence-informed tools when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions often include work on coping skills, motivation, and problem-solving tied to daily life. She has experience in both clinical and academic settings, and has supported people with eating and food-related issues as well as drug and alcohol concerns. Laurie also addresses family of origin topics and the challenges that come from complicated family relationships.
Therapy with Laurie is meant to feel like a team effort. Together a client and she set goals and pick techniques that fit the person’s needs. Practical skills and mindful awareness are common focuses, and progress is checked as therapy continues.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, steady support, and an emphasis on skills that work outside the therapy room. Laurie values empathy and respect while helping people build more satisfying routines, healthier relationships, and stronger self-regard.
Approaches that guide online work and everyday coping
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so a person feels heard and understood, which helps when someone is dealing with low self-esteem, grief, or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger by changing daily habits and thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for intense emotions and problems with impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made so techniques match changing needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't wanted, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for short updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving, and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical skills and steady progress.
