About Laurie Speed

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring over a decade of compassionate counseling experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging transitions. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and addressing complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and grief counseling.

I am committed to helping clients navigate personal struggles with empathy and practical strategies. My therapeutic work focuses on fostering self-love, improving communication skills, overcoming isolation, and healing from feelings of guilt and shame. I offer a supportive, faith-informed perspective for those seeking guidance aligned with Christian values.

My practice centers on creating a safe, understanding environment where individuals can explore their emotional experiences, develop resilience, and rediscover personal strength. I believe in walking alongside my clients, offering gentle guidance as they work towards meaningful personal growth and emotional well-being.

“LAURIE IS SO GREAT. I would highly recommend her as a therapist. She truly cares.”

“Great listening and phenomenal advice .”

“I’ve been working with her for a bit now, and she really listens, offers great advice and solutions, and is a safe, supportive sounding board.”

“Laurie is kind, understanding and professional. She is always on time and keeps an open line of communication. She makes me feel comfortable and challenges me to set and meet personal goals and encourages me to dig deep into important issues.”

“Laurie is extremely helpful. She has been essential to my healing. She knows when to listen, how to respond and provide the right advice when appropriate. I highly recommend her.”

“Great!”

“Laurie is fabulous! All of our sessions are handled in a conversational manner. Laurie listens to my experiences and to my goals for healing, and then responds appropriately without judgement or inference of her personal views.”

“Laurie has been very supportive, compassionate, and helpful. She is so kind and a very good listener. She has helped me to work through a really difficult situation with my adult, special needs, step son.<br /> I highly recommend Laurie.”

“Understanding. Knowledgable.”

“Laurie is a great listener. Very compassionate and helps me feel seen, heard and validated. <br /> She is amazing at handling delicate situations, even with partners that are not into therapy. She is solution oriented and great at making sure we end the conversation on a good note and a small actionable item if appropriate. She’s an amazing therapist, and I am so thankful to have her as a resource to help me process my life, navigate the ups and downs, and encourage me to keep going.”

“I had no idea what to expect as I have never looked into online counseling before. This was for my daughter, but I had to speak with Laurie first for intake questions. Just sharing background info and speaking about our issues, I was instantly relieved. I stuttered and talked in circles at first, and she took the lead by asking appropriate questions while being super sensitive. She is a great listener and sounded kind. I felt 100% confident she understood what I needed and is very qualified to counsel. I definitely recommend her, for anyone”

“Listens and cares about their work! So far in a few weeks in I’ve been able to tackle a lot of the stuff I’m struggling with. It’s nice to have someone un-biased to speak to in a professional manner.”

“Laurie has been and continues to be of great help to me. Beyond her clear expertise she is empathetic, compassionate, and singularly focused on what I need at a given time in my journey. Thank you Laurie!”
