About Laurie

Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Nevada with 25 years of clinical experience. She draws on a blend of evidence-based methods to support people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other complex life challenges, giving attention to relationship dynamics, intimacy, and identity concerns.

Background and approach

Laurie holds an LMFT and brings a calm, empathetic presence to sessions, helping clients explore patterns such as attachment, codependency, and control issues while addressing practical coping strategies. Her work is client-centered and integrative, combining approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based skills with attachment-informed understanding.

Laurie is comfortable addressing a wide spectrum of topics including trauma and abuse, sexual diversity and kink culture, blended family and parenting challenges, and mood disorders such as bipolar. She offers a respectful environment for people to examine communication problems, commitment questions, and the emotional aftermath of separation or loss.

Laurie also provides support for substance use concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and feelings of emptiness, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation and goals. She accepts international clients and uses a range of remote session formats to increase accessibility for those seeking consistent therapeutic support.

Practical Therapies Adapted for Online Care

Laurie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into work with clients, using CBT to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and ACT to build values-based action and acceptance skills when coping with difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy is also a frequent part of her approach, helping clients understand relational patterns, repair communication, and strengthen interpersonal connections.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Laurie will work with each person to compare methods, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful for their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. The aim is to find practical tools and insights that fit the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or travel. These formats provide scheduling flexibility and allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations while working on skills such as emotion regulation, communication, and relapse prevention.
