Laurie Carlton

Laurie Carlton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 14 years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self‑esteem challenges. Laurie emphasizes practical steps and steady support as people begin difficult work in therapy.

She approaches therapy with a straightforward, respectful style. Laurie treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions often include skill building for managing intense emotions and improving daily routines.

Laurie uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness Therapy practices to increase present‑moment awareness.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, grief, addiction issues, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, attention challenges, and career pressures. She also addresses topics like codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and compassion fatigue.

Her work is goal oriented but adaptable. Laurie helps each person set clear, manageable steps and checks progress along the way. The focus is on practical tools that can be used between sessions to make day‑to‑day life feel more manageable.

CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness for online care

Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviors, then practice new, more effective responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships become reactive.

Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to build present‑moment awareness and reduce rumination. Simple breathing and attention exercises are taught so people can use them during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day‑to‑day demands. She adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example, a shorter check‑in during a lunch break or a session without a commute. It also lets people use skills in real time and practice new habits between meetings.
