About Laurie
Laurie Carlton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship strains, and addiction-related issues. Laurie describes clients as the experts on their own story and focuses on practical steps they can use right away.
Her approach is straightforward and skills-based. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep them stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions. Mindfulness practices are brought in to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Laurie helps people who struggle with codependency, communication problems, control issues, and commitment worries. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and changes at work or home. Practical tools and short exercises are common in sessions to build new habits between meetings.
Sessions focus on concrete goals such as improving sleep, reducing anxiety, or setting boundaries. Laurie encourages clients to try small experiments and notice what does and does not work in real life. Progress is tracked through simple, measurable steps rather than abstract promises.
She provides therapy in English and works with people in Georgia. People interested in beginning can follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, sleep issues, low mood, or avoidance, with clear steps you can practice between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT provides concrete techniques for managing strong feelings, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening communication. Mindfulness work shows people how to notice reactions in the moment and reduce automatic responding.
Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with clients to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and what shows progress early on. Sessions can include skill coaching, brief exercises, and planning experiments to try between meetings.
