Laurie Hoffman, LPC

Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She offers therapy designed to fit busy lives, meeting people by video, phone, live chat, or text. Her approach centers on helping people find steadiness when life feels overwhelming.

Clients come for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and struggles with addiction. Laurie also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career questions, and questions about life purpose. She addresses complex problems like post-traumatic stress and panic attacks in straightforward terms.

Laurie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to create practical steps people can use between sessions. She integrates mindfulness and narrative techniques to help clients notice patterns and tell clearer stories about their lives. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits around substances or behaviors.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Laurie focuses on what matters most to each person and offers tools they can try right away. Conversations are paced to match each person's needs and energy.

Her work often includes short-term strategies and longer-term skill building. People who prefer clear, active approaches that combine reflection with practical exercises tend to do well. Laurie helps people build habits that support lasting change and greater emotional balance.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Laurie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on clear, practical steps that address anxiety, panic, mood problems, and behaviors linked to addiction or sleep and eating issues.

She also works in a client-centered way, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals and pace. That approach helps people feel heard and guides the choice of tools and homework between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, mindfulness practices, narrative work, or motivational interviewing will be most useful and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone calls can be easier on low-bandwidth connections or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, more frequent contact, or shorter focused conversations during a busy day. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into real-life routines.
