About Lauri
Lauri Maynard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience based in Connecticut. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among the areas she focuses on.
Lauri uses practical strategies and problem solving to address everyday struggles. She pays attention to how the body and mind interact and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems stuck. Sessions focus on building small, usable skills and clearer communication.
Her style is collaborative. She draws on personal experience with depression and burnout to inform how she supports people who feel overwhelmed. That background influences her emphasis on realistic coping and rebuilding energy.
In sessions she helps people develop self-acceptance, strengthen communication skills, and clarify life purpose. Work may include exploring guilt, shame, control issues, loneliness, and caregiver stress when those come up. Social anxiety and phobia are addressed alongside other concerns.
Lauri also assists people with issues related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, women’s concerns, and young adult transitions. The aim is to expand options for coping and to support decisions that fit each person’s daily life.
Practical steps are central: learn specific skills, try them between sessions, and adjust approaches as needed. She encourages steady, sustainable change rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Lauri Maynard’s work and can be adapted to remote sessions. One approach focuses on practical problem solving and skill building - identifying specific stressful situations, trying small experiments, and reviewing what changes. This helps with anxiety, social fears, and daily stressors by creating clear steps to practice between sessions.Another strand emphasizes the connection between body states and thoughts. That means noticing physical signals of stress, learning simple regulation strategies, and linking those shifts to changes in thinking and behavior. It can be useful for people managing burnout, compassion fatigue, and panic-like reactions.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Lauri treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will adapt techniques based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what works, adjusts tasks, and prioritizes realistic practices that fit the client’s life.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to include therapy alongside work, caregiving, or study without promising a particular format.
