About Laurie Pittman

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the stated of Louisiana. I have over 11 years of counseling experience, working with adults, children and families struggling with challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions and trauma. I work from a strength-based approach, pulling from theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This integrative approach allows the ability to tailor counseling to meet individual needs. I enjoy helping others explore personal strengths and possibilities, elements that can be important parts of healing, growth and change. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an educator, with over 10 years of classroom experience.

I believe that the counseling process is a collaborative one, and that building rapport is very important. Let’s work together to create goals, and move toward meeting these goals. I work from a place of warmth, respect and encouragement. We all face challenges from time to time. Reaching out for support can be the first step in identifying thoughts and behaviors that are not working for us, and can prompt us to explore new paths toward growth.

I welcome working with you on your journey.

“Laurie and I are off to a really good start and excited to work with her more”

“Very flexible, great listener, kind and compassionate. Would and will recommend to anyone I know needing some help.”

“Laurie does a great job of keeping me focused and we make perfect progress every session!!”

“Laurie does a great job of keeping me focused and we make perfect progress every session!!”

“From the first session with Laurie she made me feel extremely comfortable, she makes me feel very heard, overall she’s great to talk to.”

“Working with Laurie is refreshing and life-changing. She actively listens and is so attentive. She comes up with great tips and tricks to face life’s battles. She also has really great references to read. I’d recommend Laurie anytime, anywhere.”

“I highly recommend Laurie. I’ve tried many therapists in the past and have had some bad experiences that left me reluctant to start therapy again. Laurie has created a safe place for me to be open and honest, helped me increase my awareness of unconscious behaviors/ patterns/ cycles learned from a toxic upbringing, coping strategies to help me regulate my nervous system and emotions, and enabling me to further align with the person I want to be. Laurie is kind, patient, empathetic, and caring. My sessions with Laurie feel genuine and far from transactional - she remembers every detail and each week we are able to pick up right where we left off. I can attest my life has improved since meeting with Laurie. I feel more confident in dealing with my trauma and more optimistic moving forward with my life.”

“Laurie is an amazing therapist. She really listens, always asks great questions and provides super helpful feedback and perspective. She is not only knowledgeable and experienced, she is also very empathetic and her calm demeanor made me feel at ease from day one. Im very fortunate to have found her on BetterHelp.”

“She's the best”

“I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking to do therapy for the first time! She helped me in so many ways, and has been such a source of light and support for me over this last year. Thank you Laurie!”

“On week two with Laurie and feel like I’ve already made a lot of progress with her!”

“Laurie is honestly a breath of fresh air. She’s highly intelligent, warm, personable, and so much more. She’s also one of the greatest active listeners I’ve ever encountered. Laurie is so understanding and is committed to helping clients in any way she can. It takes a great deal of skill to make sense of all the topics and thoughts that get thrown at Laurie, but she stands tall in making her clients feel validated. I would recommended anyone and everyone to Laurie. Anyone would be in the best hands under her care- whether one is new to therapy or not.”

“I love Laurie! I never thought I would find a therapist I could truly be myself with and not feel judged for my thoughts, and then I find Laurie. A complete gem, just the best”

“Oh I loved her! She was so sweet, definitely recommend!!”

“I am glad to meet her here and she is the one to help in the recovery phase of a loss of relationship. I would highly recommend her to you. Not only because she is very professional, but also because she treats me like an old friend to makes me feel very comfortable speaking with her. Many thanks, Laurie!”
