About Laurie
Laurie Peter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience and additional CSW credentialing. She works with adults who are dealing with LGBT concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Laurie has supported people through bereavement, issues tied to family of origin, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and transitions such as aging, caregiving, and blended family challenges. She also addresses commitment and control issues, isolation, and concerns common in young adulthood.
Her work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a practical style that focuses on what helps now. Laurie draws on her ten years of experience to shape sessions around realistic goals and to track progress over time.

Approaches you may use and how online work proceeds
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. One approach involves examining patterns of thinking and how they influence feelings and actions; this helps with guilt, shame, and low self-esteem by naming unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses. Another approach looks at coping skills and stress management; it teaches concrete tools to handle grief, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is and is not helping.

It also allows for sessions across locations for international clients.
