Laurie Lasner

Laurie Lasner is a Utah psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem problems, and life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, attachment concerns, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Laurie helps people who feel stuck after big changes or who are unsure what comes next. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep repeating. She uses direct conversation and reflective listening to help clients notice how past experiences shape current choices.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Attachment-based work looks at how relationships influence feelings and expectations. Psychodynamic and existential ideas are used when exploring meaning, long-standing patterns, and personal values.

In the room Laurie often combines idea-based work with hands-on practice. That might mean testing a new way to speak up, planning small behavior changes, or examining a repeated family pattern. She pays attention to how relationships and early experiences affect present struggles without assuming a single cause.

Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals and steps to try between sessions. Laurie explains psychological terms in plain language and checks that proposed strategies fit day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Laurie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is practical and is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and changing everyday routines.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape expectations and emotional reactions. Attachment-oriented work can help when communication problems, loneliness, or caregiver stress are central concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie discusses goals, current difficulties, and personal preferences to decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as sessions progress to better match what is actually helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats may be better for practicing communication skills or doing focused CBT exercises, while others may suit longer reflective conversations. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to find what fits your routine.
