About Laurie
Laurie White is a KS LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker with eight years of professional experience in mental health care. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Kansas.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts that fuel anger or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy are used when skills for emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are needed.
Laurie favors a client-centered stance that keeps the person in charge of goals. She listens for what matters most and adjusts the conversation and plan to those priorities. That can mean short-term skill building for stress and anger, or longer work on trauma, attachment, and relationship patterns.
She has particular experience with addiction, domestic violence aftermath, caregiver stress, codependency, and complex grief. Laurie also supports people managing ADHD, avoidant personality traits, dissociation, and major life changes like divorce and separation.
Practical steps in sessions include identifying triggers, practicing coping skills, and trying new communication patterns. She uses motivational interviewing when readiness for change is an issue. Clients who want to start are asked to use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laurie commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationships influence feelings and reactions. That work can help people who notice recurring patterns in relationships or who react strongly to perceived rejection.She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical for anger, anxiety, sleep issues, and changing habits tied to addiction.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy provide concrete skills for managing intense emotions and staying present. Those skills are often taught through brief exercises and repeated practice during sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and what feels doable. Many clients try skills-focused CBT or DBT techniques first and expand into attachment or trauma work when ready.
