About Laurie

Laurie Pittman is a licensed counselor who combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a strengths-based perspective to help clients navigate life’s challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of professional experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness, solution-focused, and systemic approaches to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship or family difficulties. Laurie emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and building skills that support clearer thinking, improved coping, and healthier interactions.

She brings a collaborative and encouraging style to sessions, guiding clients to set meaningful goals and explore personal resources that foster growth. Laurie also works with issues like grief, parenting struggles, intimacy-related concerns, eating difficulties, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and codependency, tailoring her approach to each person’s circumstances.

Licensed as an LPC and an LMHC, she practices from Louisiana and offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Online Approaches That Emphasize Skills and Collaboration

Laurie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing specific skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates awareness of the present moment and teaches techniques that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, helpful for coping with grief, trauma responses, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Laurie works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so clients learn practical strategies while also addressing relational and systemic dynamics when appropriate.

Online therapy with Laurie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain therapy during life transitions or busy periods.
