About Laurie
Laurie Hoffman is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience based in Texas. She frames therapy as a practical space to pause and rebuild balance when life feels overwhelming. Laurie emphasizes approachable, everyday work that helps people feel more grounded and understood.
She offers sessions using teletherapy, phone, and text messaging, and notes that many clients find strong connection in remote sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, doable steps that fit the client’s life. Laurie uses clear language and aims for useful tools rather than jargon.
Laurie helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges related to trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with addictions, sleep difficulties, eating concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. Relationship and intimacy issues, career concerns, and questions about life purpose are included among her focus areas.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. That mix lets her adapt to each person’s needs and pace. Sessions tend to center on understanding what’s most troubling and testing small changes to improve daily routines.
Laurie encourages a collaborative rhythm in therapy. She helps people set realistic goals, notice progress, and adjust plans when life shifts. The practical emphasis aims to make therapy feel relevant and do-able for busy lives.
Approaches for online care and how they help
Client-centered therapy places your experience at the center of sessions and focuses on what you want to change. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to you, and helps you set goals that fit your life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and routines affect mood and behavior. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood shifts.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept up by them. This can be useful for stress, panic, and sleep difficulties by helping calm the nervous system and break reactive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean mixing techniques from different approaches and adjusting as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. They reduce travel time and let people check in from a quiet spot that fits their schedule. Phone or text options may allow shorter check-ins or an option when bandwidth or being on camera is not ideal. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
