Laurie Pittman, LPC, LMHC

Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of counseling experience. She draws on practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. She writes in a warm, encouraging way and focuses on building goals together with each person she sees.

Laurie uses straightforward, strength-based methods in sessions. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Systemic ideas to match the person and the problem. That means sessions can include skills for managing strong emotions, steps to shift unhelpful thoughts, and short-term goal work to make concrete changes.

Her background includes more than a decade in education before moving into counseling. That classroom experience shaped a practical, coaching-style approach that many people find easy to follow. She helps people identify strengths and small steps that add up over time.

Laurie pays attention to everyday pressures like parenting stress, caregiver strain, work and career concerns, and relationship communication problems. She also supports people working through grief, addiction challenges, eating concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and respect. Laurie invites people to set goals and then uses targeted techniques to move toward them. If you want to begin, confirm current session options before booking so the format fits your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress, strong emotions, and staying present.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on practical, usable tools and steady progress that fit into everyday routines rather than on lengthy theory.
