About Laurie

Laurie Carlton is an LPC based in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She centers her work on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, and substance-related concerns, as well as relationship and intimacy issues.

Background and approach

Laurie draws on evidence-based techniques to help clients identify strengths and practical steps for change while respecting each person’s own perspective and priorities. Her style emphasizes collaboration and skill-building, teaching tools for emotional regulation, healthier communication, and clearer decision-making.

Laurie also brings experience addressing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood issues, and ADHD-related concerns. She encourages hopeful, steady progress and supports clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward change.

Laurie communicates in English and is licensed to practice in Georgia (GA LPC LPC009421). She offers flexible session formats so clients can find a rhythm that fits their schedule and needs.

Integrating practical therapies with online care

Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced perspectives; this approach often includes practical exercises and behavior changes useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, which focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Determining which approach or combination of approaches fits best is a collaborative part of the work. Laurie partners with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adjusts strategies over time so the plan aligns with the client’s needs and progress.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access therapy from different locations and busy schedules. These options allow for consistent contact, flexible scheduling, and continuity of care while working on skills, communication, and long-term goals with a licensed professional.
