About Laurie
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 focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and related issues.
She uses practical, goal-focused methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions involve clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. Laurie also brings mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong feelings and stay grounded during hard moments.
Her background includes more than a decade working as an educator before moving into counseling. That experience shaped her approach to explaining ideas plainly and helping people try small, manageable changes. She draws on what already works for a person rather than starting from scratch.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. Conversations are straightforward and directed toward solving immediate problems while also addressing patterns that cause ongoing stress. Practical skills for handling parenting challenges, communication problems, and caregiver strain are common topics.
Laurie lists additional focus areas such as addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, career stress, bipolar and ADHD symptoms, codependency, and compassion fatigue. She encourages people to try different strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

How sessions work
How Laurie’s approaches translate to online work
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping with stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These tools aim to reduce reactivity, calm intense emotions, and support people managing grief, caregiver strain, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurie will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
