About Laurie
Laurie Jolly is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people navigate major life challenges. She focuses on relationship strain, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues tied to parenting and family life. Laurie aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful of each person's story.
Her approach centers on working together to build on strengths. She treats clients as experts on their own lives and offers guidance to increase connection, reduce conflict, and manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and practical, with tools people can try between sessions. Laurie draws on several therapies to meet realistic goals. She uses Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them, and Attachment-Based work to address how early bonds show up now.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques are added when helpful for thinking and behavior changes. Clients bring many concerns, including grief, addiction, anger, intimacy issues, ADHD, caregiver stress, and work or career questions. Laurie also addresses blended family challenges, communication problems, infidelity, and life transitions.
She offers calm support for people facing panic, mood disorders, or complex trauma. Sessions are offered from Michigan and available in English. Laurie works with people who want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach to change and keeps the focus practical and hopeful.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Laurie blends Gottman Method ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Gottman-informed approaches look at interaction patterns and teach practical skills for improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you, accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking small committed actions toward your values.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurie will work collaboratively to match techniques to a person's needs and goals, adjusting methods as progress is made. She emphasizes trying tools in everyday life and checking what helps so the plan changes when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer conversations and skill practice, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging or chat allows ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
