Laurie Andrews , LCSW

Laurie Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with four years of professional experience. As an LCSW she draws on clinical training to support people working through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, difficulties with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression.

She focuses on building an open, respectful therapeutic space where thoughts and emotions can be explored without judgment. Laurie meets clients where they are and offers compassion and unconditional positive regard while helping them identify practical coping strategies and personal goals.

Laurie understands that beginning therapy requires courage, and she acknowledges that first step with encouragement and steady support. Her approach centers on listening closely, collaborating with each person, and tailoring care so it aligns with individual needs and strengths.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Laurie Andrews integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and trust developed over time and can be helpful for people facing adoption or foster care concerns, attachment issues, or challenges in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and listening; it creates a supportive space for clients to express themselves and to build their own path forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Laurie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals, and to continue work on goals from home or other convenient locations.
