About Laurie
Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and holds LMHC credentials from Florida. She has 12 years of counseling experience. Laurie helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, trauma, addiction issues, grief, and codependency-related patterns.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic ideas to guide sessions. Laurie keeps work practical. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and develop small routines that reduce overwhelm.
Laurie’s background includes more than a decade in education before moving into counseling. That classroom experience shapes how she explains concepts plainly and breaks skills into simple steps. She values working together to set clear goals and track progress over time.
Sessions often focus on communication habits, boundary setting, and what to do when caregiving or someone else’s problems take over. Laurie uses mindfulness exercises to calm intense moments and CBT tools to challenge thinking patterns that keep people stuck. Solution-Focused methods help identify immediate next steps when quick change is needed.
She works with adults on issues such as intimacy-related concerns, codependency, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Laurie offers sessions in English and practices in Louisiana. To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
CBT helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In sessions Laurie may use simple exercises to test beliefs and try different responses. This approach often suits worries, low mood, and patterns that keep repeating.Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief skills to steady attention and reduce reactivity. Laurie uses short grounding exercises and breath work to help manage strong emotions and interrupt unhelpful impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person and the issue. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, mindfulness, Solution-Focused steps, or a mix is most useful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises for video or phone to match energy, bandwidth, and what feels most manageable for the client.
