About Laurie
Laurie Jones is a Nevada licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Laurie works with clients who want clearer communication, healthier intimacy, or help navigating parenting challenges.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful events and confusing feelings. Her approach listens first, then helps people build practical skills for daily life.
Background and approach
Laurie pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships influence current choices. Laurie uses a mix of evidence-based tools to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance-based methods to reduce suffering around difficult emotions.
She also brings client-centered listening that keeps the client’s goals front and center. Many clients come for help after loss, breakup, or a shift in identity. Laurie supports those struggling with addiction, body image, eating concerns, or problems around intimacy and kink culture.
She also helps people working through codependency, commitment worries, and blended family stress. Sessions tend to balance understanding with hands-on practice. Laurie offers concrete strategies for coping, communication exercises, and small behavioral steps clients can try between sessions.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Laurie offers services in English and accepts clients internationally. She practices in Nevada as an LMFT and brings a pragmatic, compassionate style to the work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Laurie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. ACT teaches simple exercises in mindfulness and values-based action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is another thread in her work; it looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect trust, closeness, and communication now. This approach is useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment wounds, or recurring patterns in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie listens to each person's history, goals, and preferences, then suggests techniques that fit. She will adjust methods as work unfolds so clients get what helps them most rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen tools for exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get timely support, try communication skills, or keep momentum between scheduled sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
