Laurie Pittman

Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of counseling experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Laurie draws on straightforward strategies to help people manage day-to-day challenges and make changes that feel doable.

She uses a strength-based, collaborative approach. Sessions look at current problems and past patterns to find steps that fit the person's life. Laurie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas with mindfulness and systemic perspectives to create a tailored plan.

Her background includes more than a decade as an educator before moving into counseling. That classroom experience influences her clear, structured style and her focus on teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions. She often helps people who are coping with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and burnout-like compassion fatigue.

Laurie pays attention to communication patterns and codependency issues, and she supports people working through career stress, relationship friction, and challenges tied to attention differences. She aims to make sessions practical, with simple tools people can use right away.

People who choose Laurie can expect a collaborative process that sets small, achievable goals. She works from Louisiana and offers sessions in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Laurie’s approaches shape online work

Laurie frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to keep sessions focused and practical. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and support better coping during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie treats that as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and daily life. She tailors strategies so they are realistic and measurable, and checks in to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, limit travel time, and let people keep momentum between sessions. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and gives flexibility to use tools like guided mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets during and between meetings.
