About Laureen
Laureen Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English.
Laureen approaches therapy by treating each person as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths clients already have and uses those as a starting point. This means practical conversations that focus on what is working and what might change.
Her work often centers on everyday problems that feel overwhelming. She helps people talk through communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
For people living with panic or mood challenges, Laureen addresses symptoms alongside everyday functioning. She also works with social anxiety, workplace stress, and the effects of past trauma. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that fit into a person’s life.
Laureen asks for a first step of completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with costs that vary by location. She does not accept international clients and holds licensure as an NC LCSW.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Laureen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and symptom relief. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. These methods are practical and often include short exercises between sessions to track changes.She also draws on trauma-informed strategies that prioritize pacing and safety while addressing the effects of past abuse or loss. These approaches help people manage triggers and slowly build tolerance for difficult memories or feelings. For grief and depression, she focuses on restoring daily routines and finding small meaningful activities that support mood and function.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. If a technique does not fit, they adjust course together to find a better match.
The biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists licensed in the client’s state provide care, and sessions are scheduled to align with each person’s daily life and obligations.
