Laurie Lasner

Laurie Lasner is a licensed psychologist in Utah with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. Laurie pays attention to the small patterns that make daily life feel harder, like isolation, communication breakdowns, and low self-esteem.

Her work centers on building self-compassion and clearer personal purpose. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful habits and try different ways of relating to themselves and others. Laurie guides people toward stronger connections and steadier mood over time.

She draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using a single method. The goal is practical change - better coping with life transitions, more effective communication, and relief from persistent worry or sadness. Laurie often focuses on attachment patterns and how those shape current relationships.

People meet her in a setting that emphasizes respect and genuine curiosity. She helps clients identify strengths and next steps they can try between sessions. For those caring for others, she offers ways to reduce caregiver stress and preserve personal balance.

Laurie also supports people working through divorce, family of origin issues, and questions about life purpose. Her background includes long-term clinical practice and ongoing work with mood and relational concerns. She encourages straightforward conversations about what someone hopes to change and practical ways to get there.

How these approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness. It helps people understand why they may feel disconnected or lonely and supports steps toward safer, more satisfying connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It gives space to tell your story and to be heard without judgment, which can ease shame and boost self-acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That means trying things out, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one way will suit everyone.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people maintain continuity of care through transitions and handle caregiver or work schedules more flexibly. A therapist can discuss how to structure sessions so they match everyday routines and the issues you want to address.
