Laurie Hoffman, LPC

Laurie Hoffman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Laurie aims to make therapy fit into a busy life and keeps sessions practical and focused on immediate needs.

She offers sessions by online teletherapy, telephone, or text messaging, and uses those ways of meeting to create steady momentum between appointments. In sessions she helps people find grounding, notice patterns that cause pain, and build small changes that add up over time.

Her approach is flexible. Laurie draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing and narrative work help when clients want to change habits or make sense of painful experiences.

Laurie has experience supporting people with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and coping after disasters. She also addresses body image, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Laurie Uses Talk Therapy Online

Laurie blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace so conversations feel relevant and respectful. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and helps people try different responses to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to lower reactivity and bring more calm in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Laurie will help you decide which approaches to emphasize based on your needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods as you make progress so the work stays practical and useful.

Her practice currently uses online teletherapy, telephone, and text messaging as ways to meet. If you prefer a different format, confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between longer meetings. Phone sessions can be a good fit when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is helpful, while text messaging can work for quick updates and homework check-ins. These options aim to keep therapy workable for everyday life without promising any specific outcome.
