Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laurie Carlton
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by developing new coping skills and changing reactions to difficult situations.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for strong emotions, relationship conflicts, impulsivity, and learning skills to respond rather than react.
Mindfulness Therapy is woven into her work to help people increase present-moment awareness, reduce rumination, and build calmer responses to stress. Mindfulness practices support improved focus, better sleep, and greater self-compassion.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laurie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or during busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and receive support during transitions and stressful periods.
