About Laurie

Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical, strengths-based work. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family or parenting concerns. Laurie writes and talks plainly in session so parents can make steady changes at home.

She draws on 12 years of clinical experience and a background in education to keep sessions straightforward and goal-directed.

Background and approach

Laurie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, and systemic ideas to shape each plan. CBT helps spot and change thoughts that feed stress and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations aimed at small workable steps.

Systemic ideas bring family patterns into view when parenting or relationship dynamics are part of the problem. Her prior decade in the classroom informs how she explains ideas and sets realistic goals. Laurie often helps people identify daily routines and habits that can be adjusted for calmer family life.

She emphasizes practical strategies parents can try between sessions and checks progress together. Sessions are collaborative. Laurie works with clients to set clear goals and track improvements over time.

She aims to create a warm, respectful space where caregivers feel heard and can build new skills. Laurie practices in Louisiana and communicates with clients in English. Her licensure is listed as LA LPC 7764 and FL LMHC MH12945.

She focuses on family and parenting topics alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Online approaches that fit family life

Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that lead to anxiety or low mood, which can help with stress, depression, and parenting reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and what is already working, helping families and caregivers build on strengths and see quick, practical progress.

Choosing the right approach happens together. Laurie will listen to concerns, review goals, and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so therapy matches changing needs and family schedules.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier for busy caregivers. These options let parents fit sessions around school, work, and home life while keeping continuity between meetings. The varied formats also make it possible to follow up quickly on skills and try short coaching-style check-ins when a full session isn’t needed.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
