Background and approach
Lauri emphasizes self-acceptance and clearer communication. She works with people to build coping skills for burnout and to regain energy after difficult seasons. Her own experience with depression and burnout informs how she notices small, useful shifts that add up over time.
Therapy with her moves at a steady, realistic pace. Sessions include exploring habits, practicing new responses, and finding small ways to restore balance. The aim is to help people feel more resilient and more able to make choices that match their values.
She is licensed as a mental health counselor and as a professional counselor in two states and practices from Connecticut. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of conversation and practical tools to support lasting change.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Many of the techniques Lauri uses focus on practical skills and awareness that work well remotely. Brief behavioral strategies help people change unhelpful routines and build coping skills for anxiety and burnout. These are concrete actions to practice between sessions and can be reviewed over video or messaging.She also incorporates mind-body awareness work that helps people notice how stress shows up in their body and learn small regulation strategies. This approach supports issues like compassion fatigue, depression, and chronic worry by teaching short exercises and grounding techniques that clients can use anytime.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that fit. Together they adjust pace and focus so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and maintain momentum during busy weeks. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work and family routines.
