About Laurie

Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience in Nevada. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and parenting concerns. Laurie keeps her work straightforward and practical so busy parents can use what they learn right away.

She creates a calm space to talk through relationship problems, intimacy questions, grief, and trauma. Laurie pays attention to how attachment and family history shape patterns today.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, and challenges related to kink or alternative sexual culture in an open, nonjudgmental way. Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means she helps people notice difficult thoughts, practice new behaviors, and build clearer communication with others.

Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than vague therapy jargon. Laurie works with concerns that often come up during life changes - divorce, blended family transitions, relapse recovery, or the shifts that follow loss. She brings practical tools for coping and decision-making, alongside a steady listening presence.

Sessions are offered in English and Laurie accepts international clients. She is licensed in Nevada as LMFT NV LMFT 2713-R and has many years guiding people toward clearer choices and healthier daily habits.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients change how they relate to partners and family members.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients try methods and decide what fits best. Goals, preferences, and the practical needs of a parent or busy adult guide the plan rather than a fixed protocol.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work, or travel and allow steady contact between meetings. For many people, remote sessions let therapists focus on concrete skills and communication strategies that transfer directly into daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
