I can’t express how helpful Laurie has been. This has been the biggest year of development and growth which I am proud of, and I attribute so much of it to Laurie’s guidance, advice, and support. She is very responsive throughout the week between sessions and is proactive about reaching out to me/sharing resources. So grateful for her and accessible therapy in general. Go to therapy, and go to Laurie! <3

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Laurie takes her time to listen to me and understands what I need to hear to help me feel better. She’s been a valuable asset to my recovery journey
I can’t say enough about Laurie. She is incredibly empathetic and understands my needs better than I do. She consistently checks in on me throughout the week and handles tough discussions in a way that makes me feel safe. She has helped me make more progress than I ever could have imagined and reached deeper than anyone in the past.
Laurie knows how to listen to the needs of her clients and address them accordingly. I’ve been so grateful for the progress I’ve made with her so far!
Laurie has seen the uglies and lowest of my life and she finds a way to pull me out of it and keep going:) she’s the best
Laurie is great. She is down-to-earth and very open-minded. I appreciate her approach and feedback on many topics.
Laurie has helped me tremendously with issues stemming from family upbringing and law enforcement occupation
Laurie is awesome. My time with her has been brief but the time we have worked together she has helped tremendously. I have past trauma and had an incident that happened recently that brought my ptsd back. She is sweet, knowledgable, and very calming. Anyone would benefit from working with her.
Laurie has been amazing! She’s truly genuine and listens and makes great points! Feels awesome to have found someone that I can speak to openly about anything. Glad to have found, Laurie!
Laurie Tucker is knowledgeable and compassionate. Furthermore, she listens carefully and provides clear, concise, and appropriate feedback. We have had just a couple of sessions and messaged each other a handful of times. However, she has inspired confidence in me.
She is an excellent therapist who is not afraid to ask and address difficult questions.

Laurie has worked wonders for me - I could go into a ton of detail but I’ll keep it brief. I feel that she’s: Patient with me Understanding Genuinely invested in my well being Knows how to respond to anything I bring up
Laurie is empathetic
I HAD A REALLY HELPFUL SESSION. TODAY ON VALENTINES DAY CONCERNING THE DEVASTATING GRIEF I AM GOING THROUGH FOLLOWING THE LOSS OF THE HUMAN BEING I LOVED MOST IN THIS LIFETIME FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY - MY BELOVED DAD WHO I LOST SIX WEEKS AGO ON THE CUSP OF NEW YEAR’S EVER 2023 AND NEW YEAR’S DAY 2024
Laurie is such a sweet person. She really tries to understand my situation and help me to the best of her abilities. I’m so happy that I got matched up with her!!!
I've only been working with Laurie for about three weeks and I am very impressed with my therapy sessions and level of support so far. Laurie is very kind yet willing to hold you accountable. I would recommend Laurie for anyone who is dealing with addiction, childhood trauma, and or just the bizarre reality of adulthood.
She’s great
Gives very good advice and great listener.
Laurie is a very caring listener. The way she converses with me helps unveil some things about me in nearly effortless ways. she's guided me through some pretty intense traumas and I can't thank her enough for that.
In just 1 meeting and plenty of communication I can tell Laurie is going to be a great counselor for me.
The most amazing therapist I have ever spoken with. Listens and help me figure out the right path!
I’m happy with the effect my contact with Laurie has had.
Laurie is very patient and helpful, feels very safe, and makes hard topics feel easier. Laurie helps me feel valid and heard.
Therapy is incredibly new to me and I was very anxious about starting and on my first session. Laurie made me feel incredibly more comfortable quickly and allows me to say as much as I want to or as little. I really feel she listens and supports how I’m feeling during a really difficult time. I have continued with Laurie and would highly recommend her as a therapist. I like her honesty too
Laurie is just a very caring person who has a passion to help others and she has the expertise to be able to do exactly that. I highly recommend Laurie!
Laurie has been a life saver! She listens and gives excellent feedback. For the first time, I’m able to fully open up and dig deep.
Laurie has been massively helpful these past few months. She lets me talk freely and openly without judgment for as long as I need during our sessions. I appreciate her ability to lovingly and compassionately challenge my ways emotional processing while still making me feel supported. 10/10.
Laurie is a thoughtful therapist who has learned what therapy style works for me, and adjusted her approach so I can learn easily. I feel safe with her and I know she cares about my feelings and my growth. She’s unafraid to give me hard feedback that I need to hear, but she does it in a way that makes me feel supported and respected. I’ve never looked forward to therapy before, but now I do! I’m becoming the person I’ve always wanted to be, and I’m excited to continue to grow.
Understanding and empathizes with my current issues. Helps me dissect them and prepare for the future. Helps me stay on track with what I need to unpack. Great therapist
Laurie is the most pragmatic therapist I've ever worked with and the first one that I've actually looked forward to engaging with. She gives you space to speak but asks the questions to get at the core issues and then sets about approaching that issue to get real movement through it. It can be painful, but for me the progress has been undeniable. You can expect accountability, a unique perspective, and a partner if you are ready to put in the work to make a change.
I love working with Laurie. I’m also a therapist and it’s taken me some time to find a therapist that I like and that can offer me new perspectives that I can’t see on my own. She is understanding, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor, which is important to me because I use humor to deal a lot of the time.
I am really enjoying talking with Laurie. She listens and is sympathetic to my feelings. She also offers solutions I can work on throughout the week.
Checks in, provides great resources, and communicates well with clients. I just started but I like my sessions so far.
Laurie has been so kind and understanding, she’s great to chat with and always checks in. I look forward to continuing treatment with her.
Great listener. Very professional.
Even though I’ve done the video chats twice, I always feel that I have gained clarity and hope when I talk to my therapist. What ever we talk about, it’s like she lit up the dark room and I can see clearly. I thank you so much for my therapist.
I was very hesitant when I first started therapy and Laurie could not have been more patient with me. I'm very comfortable with Laurie now and could not recommend her more
We only just started but even with just one conversation she was compassionate and understanding, helpful and always available. She's done so much in such a little time for me. I definitely reccomend.
Laurie, is a testament of professionalism and effective in her work. Laurie’s feedback to me has always reflected attentiveness and understanding of my concerns and the best way to assist me moving forward.
