Laurie Pittman, LPC, LMHC
About me
Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the stated of Louisiana. I have over 11 years of counseling experience, working with adults, children and families struggling with challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions and trauma. I work from a strength-based approach, pulling from theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This integrative approach allows the ability to tailor counseling to meet individual needs. I enjoy helping others explore personal strengths and possibilities, elements that can be important parts of healing, growth and change. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an educator, with over 10 years of classroom experience.
I believe that the counseling process is a collaborative one, and that building rapport is very important. Let's work together to create goals, and move toward meeting these goals. I work from a place of warmth, respect and encouragement. We all face challenges from time to time. Reaching out for support can be the first step in identifying thoughts and behaviors that are not working for us, and can prompt us to explore new paths toward growth.
I welcome working with you on your journey.

Laurie is an amazing therapist. She really listens, always asks great questions and provides super helpful feedback and perspective. She is not only knowledgeable and experienced, she is also very empathetic and her calm demeanor made me feel at ease from day one. Im very fortunate to have found her on BetterHelp.

I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking to do therapy for the first time! She helped me in so many ways, and has been such a source of light and support for me over this last year. Thank you Laurie!

Laurie is honestly a breath of fresh air. She’s highly intelligent, warm, personable, and so much more. She’s also one of the greatest active listeners I’ve ever encountered. Laurie is so understanding and is committed to helping clients in any way she can. It takes a great deal of skill to make sense of all the topics and thoughts that get thrown at Laurie, but she stands tall in making her clients feel validated. I would recommended anyone and everyone to Laurie. Anyone would be in the best hands under her care- whether one is new to therapy or not.

I love Laurie! I never thought I would find a therapist I could truly be myself with and not feel judged for my thoughts, and then I find Laurie. A complete gem, just the best
