More about Laurie

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a marriage and family counselor licensed in Hawaii since 2012. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I've also helped many people who have experienced anger issues.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines emotion focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral, relationship and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek help and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
