Laurie AldrichLMFT

Laurie Aldrich is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She takes a calm, steady approach and aims to help clients find clearer communication and more confidence in day-to-day life.

Laurie focuses on concerns that often change during major life transitions. She supports people through body image questions, attachment issues, and the challenges that come with pregnancy and childbirth. She also helps those dealing with family conflict, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions focus on listening first, then mapping out practical steps that feel doable. Conversations address patterns from the past while staying grounded in present goals.

Laurie draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their stories. She uses Jungian concepts as another way to explore meaning and inner life. These approaches are woven into an overall client-centered stance that prioritizes what matters to each person.

People who see Laurie can expect steady support and a focus on improving communication and self-understanding. She encourages small, manageable changes that add up. To start, she asks people to reflect on what they most want to change and to set realistic first steps.

How Laurie’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and helps set clear, manageable goals.

Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It can help reframe painful patterns and open new options for handling stress, relationships, and identity questions.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeating patterns that come from earlier relationships and life stages. It can be useful for people who want to understand why they react in certain ways and change long-standing habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of ideas fits best. She talks through goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make scheduling around appointments, childcare, or work breaks simpler. Talk with Laurie about timing and session rhythm to find what works in everyday life.
