About Laurie
Laurie Jolly is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that make life easier. Laurie believes clients bring important knowledge about their own lives and builds on those strengths.
She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean looking at personal patterns drawn from Jungian ideas, working on values and committed action with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or strengthening bonds through attachment-focused work.
Background and approach
Laurie also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods when they suit the situation. In sessions she listens for the concrete problems that block daily life and helps people set small, realistic goals. Tasks may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways of communicating, or creating routines to reduce overwhelm.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Laurie has helped people through grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, mood disturbances, and life changes. She also addresses issues like burnout, relationship conflict, blended family challenges, and questions of meaning or purpose.
Her approach is collaborative and grounded in experience. Sessions are offered from Michigan and she works with English-speaking clients, including those outside the United States. Laurie guides people through the first steps and offers supportive coaching alongside clinical care when helpful.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Jungian-informed work looks at recurring dreams, personal symbols, and life themes to help people find deeper meaning and new directions. This approach can be useful for those wondering about life purpose, recurring relationship patterns, or identity questions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how close relationships shape current reactions and communication, and it helps people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss what techniques might help, and try methods that fit your goals and comfort level. Adjustments are common as work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing emotions or practicing new communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when writing out thoughts feels most helpful. These formats increase flexibility and help sustain consistent work between appointments.
