About Laurie
Laurie Carlton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for common life struggles, like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She encourages people to notice their own strengths and take small steps toward change.
Laurie centers sessions on everyday concerns. She helps people talk through relationship problems, sleep and rest difficulties, substance issues, and parenting stress. She also works with trauma, grief, anger, and career transitions. Conversations are aimed at finding what works in a person's daily life rather than only discussing problems.
Her approach draws on methods that teach skills and shift unhelpful habits. Clients can expect clear tools for coping, emotion regulation, and changing patterns that get in the way of better sleep and steadier moods. She uses straightforward language and short-term techniques alongside breathing and attention practices when helpful.
Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on achievable goals. Laurie helps people set small experiments they can try between meetings. She also checks in on how sleep, stress, and daily routines affect energy and mood.
Starting therapy with Laurie begins with a simple intake and a shared plan. She aims to make the process clear and manageable, so people can work toward better rest, clearer relationships, and fewer days ruled by worry.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness can help online
Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy approaches. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, mood, and sleep habits. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better rest.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily routines and recommend methods to try. Clients and therapist decide together which tools feel most useful, and adjustments are made as work progresses.
