Laurie WhiteLSCSW

Laurie White is a Kansas-licensed social worker who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. Laurie holds an LSCSW and focuses on practical help for people facing addiction, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She aims to meet people where they are and talk through concrete steps toward feeling steadier. Laurie keeps sessions direct and respectful. She listens for patterns tied to attachment, communication, and coping skills. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits day-to-day life rather than one-size-fits-all advice. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, grief, and the stress that comes with life transitions. Laurie also supports people dealing with anger, sleep disruption, and compassion fatigue. When substance use or domestic violence are part of the picture, she focuses on safety, practical planning, and finding next steps. Laurie draws on several approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered conversations to follow each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and repair communication. People who reach out can expect clear talk, steady support, and tools to try between meetings. Laurie encourages small experiments that build confidence over time. She frames change as a step-by-step process and partners with clients on realistic goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns influence current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating cycles. It can be useful for addressing connection, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing new, more helpful responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether attachment ideas, CBT, or a mix of approaches will be the best fit.
