About Laurie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience, Laurie Pittman helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, trauma, and changes in life circumstances. She practices in Louisiana and uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy to guide her work.
Laurie draws on her background as an educator and more than a decade in counseling to keep sessions practical and focused. She concentrates on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations often look at patterns of thought and behavior, and at concrete strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills.
Her approach blends short-term problem solving with skills-based work. That can mean using mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety, testing small behavior changes, or mapping relationship patterns with systemic ideas. Laurie discusses options and chooses techniques that fit each person’s current situation and goals.
She also addresses issues like caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and challenges tied to substance use or eating concerns. When someone is coping with grief, trauma, or a mood condition such as bipolar disorder, sessions focus on symptom management and everyday functioning.
Laurie works in English and does not take international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and testing small changes. Online sessions can include reviewing thought records, setting behavioral experiments, and planning coping steps to try between sessions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. In a remote session this can mean guided exercises, short meditations during the meeting, and homework to build a daily practice that lowers anxiety or stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical goals and quick, actionable changes. During online meetings the therapist and client pick a specific goal, track small signs of progress, and adapt strategies that fit the client's schedule and resources.
The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of approaches based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is a shared process and may change over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking tools so therapy fits into everyday life without requiring long trips.
