About Laurie

Laurie Norris is an LMSW practicing in Michigan who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on varied roles across settings to help clients build practical skills and inner resources rather than offering quick fixes. Her background includes work with mood and panic disorders, addiction, caregiver stress, and bereavement, which informs a calm, solution-oriented style.

Laurie frames personal struggle with a simple river metaphor: obstacles, fast currents, and moments of feeling stranded are parts of many people’s journeys. She aims to help clients identify what is blocking movement, reconnect with strengths, and develop strategies to navigate transitions and rebuild connection.

Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with compassionate listening to support clearer choices, improved coping, and stronger emotional regulation. Sessions incorporate attachment-focused perspectives, cognitive and mindfulness tools, and emotionally-focused strategies tailored to each person's needs.

Laurie works with adults on concerns such as intimacy-related issues, family-of-origin patterns, codependency, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and life purpose, offering a collaborative path toward greater stability and agency.

Approaches and Online Support for Ongoing Change

Laurie uses cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. CBT offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and sleep challenges. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional safety, helping clients explore how early connections influence current relationships and intimacy struggles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with clients to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so work feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options for participation. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain momentum between in-person visits when travel or timing is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver consistent, ongoing support that adapts to each client’s circumstances.
