About Laurie

Laurie Jones is a Nevada licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of practice. She focuses on helping people through hard life moments like depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and addiction. Laurie aims to offer steady, practical support so clients can take small, manageable steps forward.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what feels overwhelming. Laurie listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependency, abandonment worries, or trouble with attachment. She then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals for change.

Laurie uses a mix of straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She leans on approaches that teach skills for handling strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and building more satisfying relationships. Sessions tend to focus on what people want to do differently and how to make those changes stick in everyday life.

She is experienced supporting LGBTQ+ people and those in alternative relationship arrangements, and she pays attention to how identity affects well-being. Laurie also addresses parenting stress, grief, and substance concerns with the same practical orientation.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Laurie helps people sort priorities, try new behaviors, and track progress. If someone wants a therapist who listens closely and coaches toward real-life changes, she may be a good fit.

How Laurie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and clarify what matters most to them. It focuses on small committed actions that match a person’s values and is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness, and codependency patterns so they can try different ways of relating and feel more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and shape sessions around what fits best. That collaborative step helps choose whether to emphasize skills, insight, or values-based action over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking to know how sessions will be run. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still lets them practice new skills in everyday situations and track progress between meetings.
