About Laurie
Laurie Carlton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, anger, and related life challenges. Laurie emphasizes practical steps and straightforward conversation to help clients manage symptoms and make changes that matter in daily life.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Laurie draws on approaches that help change unhelpful thinking, regulate intense emotions, and increase present-moment awareness.
In work with stress, anxiety, and sleep problems she uses techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice different responses. For relationship and communication problems she helps people notice patterns and experiment with new ways of speaking and setting boundaries. When anger or impulsivity are present, sessions include strategies for managing strong urges and repairing harm.
Laurie also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting strain, career shifts, and the long-term effects of compassion fatigue or isolation. She incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practice as fits each person's goals.
Sessions are conducted in English. People interested in working together are asked to use the site's matching questionnaire to schedule a first meeting and review session details before booking.
How sessions work
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness shape online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new actions that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions in relationships and daily life. Mindfulness Therapy trains paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, concentration, and stress regulation.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Laurie treats approach selection as collaborative. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness practice, or a combination that fits what you want to change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online meetings also let therapists guide in-the-moment skills practice, such as breathing or grounding exercises, which can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep problems.
