About Laurie
Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career strain. Laurie also lists focus areas such as body image, control and communication issues, first responder and veteran concerns, and post-traumatic stress.
She describes therapy as a place to pause and rebuild balance when life feels overwhelming. Sessions are practical and grounded. Conversations aim to help people feel steadier and more understood rather than offering quick fixes.
Laurie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult stories. That mix is used to address symptoms and the patterns that feed them.
In sessions she will listen for how stress and anger show up day to day. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Mindfulness exercises and short behavioral experiments are offered when useful.
Laurie mentions working by phone, text, and teletherapy in her own practice. If you want to explore therapy focused on anger, stress, or related concerns, she asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see how the approach fits your life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laurie uses client-centered work to orient sessions around what matters to the person. That approach focuses on listening, clarifying priorities, and shaping goals together. It helps when someone needs a steady space to talk about what is happening now.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which examines thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. CBT is practical for anxiety, anger, and mood patterns. Mindfulness therapy is offered to build attention and calm. Simple breathing or awareness exercises are suggested to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or focus.
Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to try methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. If an approach feels off, adjustments are made and different strategies are tested together.
Her biography notes sessions by teletherapy, telephone, and text messaging. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins by phone or text, and let people use mindfulness exercises between meetings.
