Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laurie White

Laurie White draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help people address abandonment, attachment issues, and related relationship difficulties by building safer, more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and values, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore goals and make choices at their own pace. This approach is helpful for people seeking support with self-esteem, life changes, or complex emotional concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. In online sessions, CBT techniques translate into concrete exercises and homework that clients can use between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Laurie works collaboratively to determine what fits a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt methods over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make it simpler to stay engaged in therapy with licensed professionals and therapists who can support meaningful change.
