Hi, I’m Dr. Anna Laurie. I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist. I use scientifically supported techniques to help people improve their mood and work through the challenges of life. I work exclusively via telehealth with adults who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression in the context of stressful life circumstances.
What sets my practice apart is a focus on skills building. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people identify tools of most benefit to them. These skills or tools can be used in the first session and then used for a lifetime. My approach is solution-focused and collaborative, and mental health issues are always considered in the context of a person's physical health, their relationships, their beliefs and values, and other important domains of life.
People who benefit most from the type of therapy I offer often say they are sick of feeling the way they do. They are ready to take a deep dive into their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to try new ways of thinking and doing that will lead them toward their own goals. Although the past is important, we will work using problems you are facing today and our focus will be on the here and now.
