About Laurie
Laurie White is a licensed social worker in Kansas who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. Laurie uses a respectful, compassionate approach and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She works with people facing addiction, family conflict, trauma, parenting stress, anxiety, sleep concerns, and related issues.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her and adapts conversation and plans to each client’s needs. Laurie offers straightforward guidance and helps clients build skills for managing emotions, stress, and relationship problems. She draws on therapy methods that emphasize emotional connection, present-focused thinking, and skill-building.
Laurie often helps people identify patterns that affect their relationships and sense of self. That can mean addressing attachment issues, codependency, or communication patterns that cause repeated conflict. She also supports those working through grief, major life changes, or burnout from caregiving.
For people struggling with sleep or anxiety she uses concrete strategies alongside reflective work to shift daily routines and reduce distress. When substance use or domestic violence is part of the history, Laurie combines safety-focused planning with steps toward recovery and stability.
Her style is warm and direct. She encourages collaboration on goals and practical homework between sessions. Taking a first step can feel hard, and Laurie aims to make the process clearer and more manageable for each person who reaches out.
How Laurie’s approaches guide online therapy
Laurie uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, trust, and long-standing relationship habits that affect sleep, anxiety, and closeness. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. In practice this means the session follows the client’s pace and priorities while the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool Laurie draws on for concrete change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies that improve mood, reduce worry, and support better sleep routines. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust as progress and challenges arise. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Laurie aims to make therapy practical and usable in day-to-day life, whether addressing sleep, stress, addiction recovery, or relationship patterns.Areas of expertise
