Laurie Pittman, LPC, LMHC

Laurie Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices in Louisiana and works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, life changes, trauma, and anger. Laurie draws on practical, evidence-informed techniques to help people manage tense moments and ongoing frustration.

Her background includes more than a decade in education before clinical practice, which shapes a clear, direct approach in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to break unhelpful patterns and build realistic steps forward. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness of bodily signs and thought patterns that accompany anger or anxiety.

Laurie treats a broad range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She helps people identify small, achievable changes that reduce conflict and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions mix discussion, skills practice, and concrete behavioral plans.

She favors collaborative goal-setting and practical skill-building over abstract talk. Laurie invites clients to set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track what works. Her classroom experience informs a straightforward style that many find useful when managing emotions and relationships.

Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Laurie’s work is grounded in observable strategies and steady feedback, aimed at helping people handle anger, stress, and difficult transitions more effectively.
