About Laurie
Laurie Pittman, LPC, LMHC offers straightforward, goal-focused counseling that helps people manage stress and relationship struggles. She draws on practical methods to address anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, and life transitions so clients can find clearer ways forward.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to break larger problems into manageable steps. Sessions focus on learning new skills, testing small changes, and tracking progress so people notice what works for them. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve self-awareness.
Laurie brings 12 years of counseling experience and a background in education to her work. That classroom experience shapes a clear, patient teaching style that many clients find helpful when learning new coping tools. She frames the process as collaborative and practical rather than abstract.
In therapy she listens for strengths and builds from them. Conversations often include simple exercises, goal-setting, and solutions to try between sessions. Topics Laurie addresses include parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, addiction concerns, trauma, and mood issues.
Her licenses include Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. Laurie is based in Louisiana and offers services in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How Laurie Uses Practical Therapies Online
Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people make concrete changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches small experiments to test new behaviors and reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that help people notice stress and respond more calmly.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that produce quick gains. That approach is useful for parenting concerns, communication problems, codependency patterns, and coping with life changes. Together these methods aim to be collaborative: the therapist and client choose what to try next based on goals, progress, and personal preferences.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here.

Laurie will help match the approach and pace to each person's needs, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
