Laurie White, LSCSW

Laurie White is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people navigate difficult life challenges. She practices from Kansas and focuses on practical, straightforward support for concerns like addiction, trauma, anxiety, and parenting stress.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-informed work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centered methods guide sessions so the person's priorities set the agenda.

Laurie aims to create a calm, respectful place for honest conversation. She listens for what matters most and then helps people build simple, doable steps toward change. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and real-world experiments to test new ways of coping.

Her experience includes helping people with relationship and family strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, and work stress. She also supports those facing identity questions, ADHD-related struggles, and substance use concerns. Laurie tailors pace and focus to each person's needs.

People who prefer clear tools alongside empathetic listening tend to connect with her style. She works collaboratively, setting goals together and tracking small progress over time. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Laurie offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. English-language services are provided from her Kansas practice, and international clients are not accepted.

How Laurie’s approaches work online

Laurie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify thought patterns that keep them stuck and to practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing cravings or urges.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and communication. That work helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship patterns.

The therapist treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your preferences. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and focused on your priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can be a good short check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking.

These options allow people to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other obligations while still using structured techniques and attachment-focused exploration.
