Laurie Hoffman, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Laurie

Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She frames therapy as a practical, usable part of daily life. Sessions use online video, phone, live chat, or text so people can connect in ways that suit their schedules.

Laurie keeps language plain and focuses on what people need right now. She often works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and substance concerns.

Background and approach

She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and anger. Laurie pays attention to how life events and career pressures affect emotional balance. Laurie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening environment.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy when they fit the work. That mix helps her tailor sessions to each person’s needs. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of coping.

She explains ideas plainly and offers concrete steps people can use between meetings. The aim is to make progress that feels manageable. People meet Laurie for short-term problem solving and for deeper work over time.

She invites practical conversation and reflection. The focus is on helping clients feel steadier and more in control of daily challenges.

Approaches for online work and what they do

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so people feel heard and respected; it helps when someone needs a steady, compassionate place to talk through hard things. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete steps to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose or combine methods and revisit the plan as needs change, so the process stays collaborative and adaptable.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging lets people fit sessions into busy lives. These formats make it easier to keep continuity after a move or during a hectic week, and they allow for brief check-ins or regular meetings as needed. The practical flexibility helps clients try new tools and integrate skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
