About Laurie
Laurie Jolly is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, depression, anger, and related issues. Sessions draw on practical therapy methods to help people manage day-to-day problems and long-standing patterns.
Laurie describes clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She favors straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. Expect clear, usable strategies plus time to talk through what matters most to you.
Her approach mixes evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when these fit the concern. That lets her address mood disorders, relationship patterns, and coping skills in practical ways.
Laurie has long experience with grief, addiction-related concerns, parenting stress, and issues tied to military service. She also supports people dealing with infidelity, communication breakdown, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Those topics often come with anger, guilt, or shame, and she helps people name what’s happening and try different responses.
Sessions are offered in English and Laurie accepts international clients. The service uses a cancellable subscription for sessions; fees vary by location. To begin, use the platform’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move life toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety, anger, and depression going. Sessions include practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding.
Attachment-Based ideas look at recurring relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions. This can be useful when anger shows up around intimacy, trust, or family conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match what the client needs and prefers. That collaborative process helps choose which skills or perspectives to use over time.
The profile does not specify exact online formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches translate well to remote work - for example, CBT homework and ACT exercises can be practiced between meetings, and DBT skills can be taught and rehearsed in session. Discuss format preferences during the first appointment to set a plan that fits everyday life.
