About Laurie

Laurie Pittman, LPC, LMHC, is licensed in Louisiana and Florida and has 12 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and a wide range of life challenges using approaches she describes as strength-based and practical. Her stated methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused work, and Systemic ideas.

Pittman helps people talk through parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, and career stress. She also addresses addiction, eating issues, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes more than a decade in education before counseling. That classroom experience informs her direct, organized way of working with clients. She emphasizes collaboration and building rapport as part of the process.

In sessions she identifies thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and then practices alternatives. Techniques range from cognitive-behavioral tools to mindfulness exercises and short-term solution-focused planning. Systemic ideas are used when family or communication patterns are relevant.

Pittman describes therapy as a joint effort to set goals and try practical steps toward them. She encourages clients to use their strengths and to track progress. The approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people manage current problems and make measurable changes.

How her clinical approaches guide online work

Laurie Pittman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy most often in her stated approach. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with strong emotions.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, concrete goals and try small changes that can be measured. These approaches lend themselves to practical exercises, worksheets, and brief skill practice that can be used between sessions. The therapist describes decision-making about methods as collaborative; she will work with each person to see what techniques match their needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused tasks to virtual work so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
