Laine Briggs , LMFT

Laine Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington and Georgia with 10 years of professional experience. She brings focused clinical experience supporting people facing relationship challenges, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse, including sexual trauma. She also has experience treating depression and the emotional impacts that can accompany major life changes.

Laine emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Her approach centers on helping individuals and families express difficult emotions, explore patterns that affect connection, and build pathways toward healthier interactions and emotional recovery.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often requires courage, she honors the decision to seek support and meets each person with respect and sensitivity. Laine looks forward to meeting and working with clients as they take steps toward greater understanding and well-being.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Approaches for Online Care

Laine often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people and partners identify secure ways of relating and supports work on trust, safety, and closeness.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples recognize and express core emotions that drive interaction patterns. EFT can be especially helpful for repairing relationship ruptures and strengthening emotional bonds.

Laine incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles by prioritizing the client's perspective and offering empathy, acceptance, and collaboration as the foundation for change. She works with clients to tailor methods to their needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laine collaborates with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She partners with clients to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those living outside the therapist's immediate area. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular support, and fit sessions into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in relationship and trauma work.
