About Laurie
Laurie Hoffman is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and related struggles such as sleep and eating problems.
She describes therapy as a place to pause and rebuild balance. Sessions focus on practical steps to feel steadier when life feels overwhelming. Laurie aims to help people become more grounded and understood through regular, focused work together.
Laurie uses several practical approaches in her work. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try different, measurable strategies.
Mindfulness techniques appear in many sessions to help people notice their body and breathing and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes, and Narrative Therapy can help people reframe difficult experiences.
Her background includes 14 years of counseling practice in Texas as an LPC. Laurie has worked with a wide range of concerns including panic, phobias, post-traumatic stress, substance use, first responder and veteran issues, and compassion fatigue. She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Laurie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. That approach emphasizes understanding a person's perspective and shaping sessions around their concerns and goals.She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT in online sessions focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical experiments between appointments to test new ways of responding.
Mindfulness techniques are often included to help people notice physical sensations and breathing patterns, which can reduce reactivity during moments of anxiety or stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so approaches can change when useful.
The original profile lists teletherapy, phone, and text messaging as connection methods. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
