About Laurie
Laurie Jolly is a Michigan licensed social worker with 38 years of clinical experience. She uses Systemic therapy alongside practical, person-focused approaches to help people untangle stressful patterns and rebuild important relationships. Laurie frames the work around what each person already knows about their life.
She listens for strengths and small steps that can lead to change. Sessions focus on clear goals, concrete strategies, and honest conversation rather than long theory lectures.
Background and approach
She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Laurie also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. Other concerns she addresses include caregiving stress, communication problems, and life transitions.
Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered practices. That mix lets her help with emotion regulation, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and improving how people connect with others. Laurie describes the client as the expert in their own story and aims to build on existing strengths.
She encourages practical homework, clearer communication habits, and steps that fit everyday life. People who want steady, experienced guidance for relationship or mood struggles may find this a useful way to start. Sessions are offered in English and Laurie accepts international clients.
She practices from Michigan as a MI LMSW and brings decades of direct clinical experience to each appointment.

Online support
Systemic and Acceptance-Based Work Online
Systemic therapy looks at how relationships and everyday patterns shape problems. It helps people notice repeated interactions and change small habits that affect family and couple dynamics. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match your values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based therapy centers on how early bonds influence current relationships and aims to improve trust, closeness, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and comfort level. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust the work as you learn what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels clearer. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and apply what you learn between sessions.
