Laurie Laman, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Laurie

Laurie Laman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses a warm, collaborative approach. She draws on five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. Laurie speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps families can use at home.

She aims to create a respectful space where parents can talk through immediate concerns and plan next steps. Laurie has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in school and clinical settings.

Background and approach

That range has given her a practical sense of what helps at different ages and stages. She addresses family problems, family of origin issues, and relationship struggles alongside concerns like addictions and eating or food-related issues. Her style is client-centered and collaborative.

She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when helpful, and incorporates mindfulness and existential ideas to support self-reflection and meaning. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking patterns, and coping strategies families can try between meetings. Laurie understands that starting therapy can feel hard and sometimes lonely.

She acknowledges that courage is part of the process and respects each family’s pace. The work she offers is aimed at helping caregivers and children build better routines, communication, and emotional regulation. Parents looking for straightforward, practical guidance will find a therapist who balances empathy with skill-building.

Laurie uses simple language and clear goals to help families move toward healthier patterns over time.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the family’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps parents and children feel understood before moving into skills work. This approach is useful when families need a respectful space to sort out priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Laurie uses CBT techniques to help families spot unhelpful thinking, test assumptions, and try small behavior changes that improve day-to-day routines and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT tools can be especially useful when anger, impulsivity, or high stress disrupt family life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean blending listening-focused support with skill training like CBT or DBT exercises.

Online sessions make this process more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help parents fit therapy into busy schedules and keep progress moving forward.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
