Laurissa focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, persistent sadness, or tough life changes. She aims to offer a non-judgmental space where clients can be heard and understood.

Sessions often involve practical steps to manage stress, work through grief, or address relationship and communication problems.
Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to help with patterns of thought and behavior, boost self-awareness, and build short-term coping skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are added when the goal is clearer direction or small, achievable change.
