About Laureen
Laureen Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Laureen focuses on practical support that helps people manage day-to-day problems and feel more in control of their lives.
Laureen starts by listening to each person’s story and recognizing the strengths they already have. She helps clients identify small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. Sessions are conversational and focused on what is most pressing right now, whether that is panic, low mood, or a recent loss.
Her work pays attention to communication patterns and issues around control. She helps people who are navigating divorce or separation, working through guilt or shame, or rebuilding after hurt. She also supports those feeling isolated, stuck about life purpose, or struggling at work.
Laureen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She aims to make therapy practical so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. Over time clients often gain clearer thinking and steadier routines.
Her approach respects each person’s pace and experience. She encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change. To begin, people choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Laureen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with stressful reactions and mood problems. One approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and panic - learning short breathing or grounding practices and testing new ways of responding to feared situations. Another approach addresses the effects of trauma and grief by helping people name what happened, understand reactions, and build routines that reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laureen will talk with each person about their goals and day-to-day demands, then suggest techniques that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clear.
The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time so therapy fits into a busy week. Licensed professionals commonly adapt pacing and homework to match each person's routine, helping skills practice carry over into everyday life.
