Laurie Eddleston, LCSW

Laurie Eddleston is a California LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience helping adults who feel stuck after major life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with transitions such as midlife shifts and aging-related adjustments. Laurie works with people who are sorting out what matters next and want steady, practical support.

Her practice pays attention to day-to-day problems and long-term patterns. She listens for how family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and blended-family dynamics shape current problems. Conversations often include strategies to manage caregiver stress, reduce isolation, and handle the guilt and shame that can follow loss or change.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. Laurie helps people clarify priorities, practice communication skills, and rebuild a sense of competence after setbacks. She also addresses life purpose questions for those wondering how to redirect work, relationships, or personal goals.

Clients can expect goal-focused work that mixes practical skill building with time to process difficult feelings. Laurie pays attention to relationship patterns such as codependency, jealousy, and communication problems. She brings two decades of experience to situations involving natural or human-caused disaster recovery and forgiveness work.

Language of therapy is English and care is provided within California. Laurie uses her clinical background to support adults through both immediate coping and longer-term adjustment to change.
