Laurie Eddleston, LCSW

Laurie Eddleston is a California licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and the demands of parenting while also helping with self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Laurie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin to feel steadier.

She works in a collaborative, person-centered way that centers each person's goals and values. Sessions often focus on understanding painful patterns, rebuilding self-worth, and improving communication with people who matter to you. Laurie also helps with caregiver stress, blended family issues, and challenges that come with aging.

Her approach is practical and compassionate. She helps people develop coping strategies that fit day-to-day life rather than relying on jargon or one-size-fits-all plans. Parents find support for the emotional strain of caregiving, and people facing midlife transitions get help sorting priorities and finding purpose.

Laurie pays attention to how family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and codependency can shape current relationships. She can assist when jealousy, guilt, or shame interfere with connection. Work in sessions moves at a pace set by the client and aims for clearer self-understanding and more effective coping.

If you are dealing with loss, persistent worry, or a sense that life needs to change, Laurie offers steady guidance and practical tools. To begin, follow the site instructions to match and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Many people benefit from approaches that focus on practical problem solving and improving daily coping. One common technique helps people identify thought patterns that increase anxiety and replace them with more balanced thinking; this can reduce worry and help with stress management. Another approach emphasizes building stronger communication and attachment skills, which can help when jealousy, family problems, or caregiver stress affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they choose methods and adjust the work as needs change so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. Ask about the available session options when you match so you can pick times and a format that suit your schedule and daily routines.
