02 · In Laurie's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, with a special passion for supporting older adults as they navigate the emotional, physical, and relational changes that often accompany aging, health concerns, and questions of purpose.
My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and the emotional impact of major life transitions. I also help clients strengthen self-esteem, improve communication and relationships, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and fulfillment.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals facing caregiver stress, family conflict, social anxiety, isolation, and the complex emotions that often accompany serious health conditions, including cancer. I also enjoy working with young adults as they explore identity, build confidence, and develop a stronger sense of belonging.
My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward the life you want to create.
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they cultivate greater resilience, deeper self-compassion, and lasting emotional well-being.

03 · What happens next
Laurie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Laurie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Laurie at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Laurie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Laurie.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
