About Laurie
Laurie Ormerod is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Her listed concerns include family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life purpose.
Laurie uses a faith-informed perspective in sessions and often brings discussions of forgiveness and spiritual values into therapy when clients want that. She works with people to identify patterns such as abandonment or codependency and to develop clearer relationship boundaries. She also addresses workplace stress, career questions, and parenting concerns in straightforward conversation.
In practice she helps people build practical ways to cope with grief, anger, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Sessions often include talk therapy aimed at understanding thoughts and feelings, and making gradual behavioral changes that fit daily life. Laurie aims to help clients notice what matters most and to try small, manageable steps toward those priorities.
She names life purpose and self-love among her focus areas, and she incorporates those topics into planning and goal-setting when they are priorities for the client. Her background includes long-term work with trauma and relational issues, and she brings that experience to sessions that revolve around healing and action.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her Oklahoma practice. Prospective clients use a short matching questionnaire and the scheduling flow to arrange a first session and begin discussing goals.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in accessible terms. One approach focuses on processing trauma and abuse through careful, paced conversation and coping skills; this helps people reduce overwhelming reactions and rebuild daily routines. Another approach centers on working through relationship patterns like codependency and abandonment by identifying repeated behaviors, testing new responses, and practicing clearer boundaries. A third commonly used technique addresses stress, anxiety, and mood concerns through behavioral strategies that change how daily habits and thinking patterns interact with emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques make sense for their current goals and preferences. She will review options, explain how a method works, and try adjustments over time so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
The practical benefits of working online include easier scheduling around work and family demands and the ability to keep therapy in regular weekly or biweekly slots. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to learn whether phone, video, or another format is offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain momentum between appointments and to fit brief check-ins into a busy day.
