About Laurie
Laurie Ormerod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and the fallout of codependent patterns. Laurie helps clients who are dealing with life transitions, workplace stress, parenting strains, addictions, and grief.
She uses practical conversations to build self-understanding and resilience. Sessions often focus on spotting repeated relationship patterns, learning to set clearer boundaries, and naming feelings without judgment. Laurie also supports people working through abandonment, forgiveness, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her background includes long-term work with clients who struggle with low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She integrates discussion of life purpose and self-love into therapy when clients find those topics important. Laurie brings attention to how family dynamics and past trauma shape present behavior.
In sessions she combines direct feedback with reflective listening. Clients can expect to work on concrete skills for coping with stress, managing anger, and navigating career or parenting pressures. She also addresses mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and persistent depressive symptoms as part of broader treatment planning.
Laurie describes her approach as informed by Christian perspectives when clients request that context be part of therapy. That faith-informed element is offered alongside clinical care for people exploring values, forgiveness, and healing from abandonment wounds.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they adapt to online work
Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand patterns and build practical skills. One approach focuses on identifying repeated relationship behaviors and building boundary skills through role practice and concrete homework. This helps with people-pleasing, codependent patterns, and managing difficult interactions.Another approach centers on processing trauma and emotional wounds in measured steps. This involves pacing the work, learning grounding and coping strategies, and gradually revisiting painful memories when the person is ready. It is often used for abandonment issues, grief, and recovery from abusive experiences.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as the client notices what helps and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and keeping regular weekly check-ins during life transitions. Online work can make it easier to include brief coaching-style conversations between longer sessions when that suits the person's goals.
