About Laurie
Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Laurie also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions aim to help people pause, reflect, and rebuild balance when life feels overwhelming. She uses clear techniques to help clients feel more grounded and understood. Laurie often blends listening with focused strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Laurie draws on client-centered work to follow what each person brings to the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to strengthen emotional awareness and manage stress in the moment.
She incorporates motivational interviewing to support people facing addiction or readiness-related struggles. Narrative therapy helps people reframe their stories when past events are still influencing their present life. These approaches are used together to match what an individual needs in practical terms.
Sessions are offered through online teletherapy, phone, or text messaging according to her practice setup. Laurie describes therapy as a regular place to check in and rebuild routines. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first. In online sessions this means the counselor follows what the client brings and adjusts pace and focus to match their needs. It helps when someone needs a listening ear and a steady, responsive presence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes. Online CBT often uses brief exercises and real-life homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address eating or sleeping difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity. These tools can be practiced between sessions to help with stress, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Laurie offers teletherapy, phone, and text messaging in her practice as described in her profile; confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and let people use methods such as guided breathing or worksheets between meetings. These practical benefits help therapy feel usable when schedules are tight.
