Laurie Lasner , UT Psychologist 14223399-2501

Laurie Lasner is a licensed psychologist in Utah with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She focuses on women's issues and supports individuals working to build self-esteem and cope with life changes. Laurie uses clear, practical guidance so clients can make steady progress.

Her approach centers on understanding attachment patterns and how early relationships shape present behavior. She mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. This combination helps with mood challenges, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

Laurie also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at life purpose, personal values, and recurring patterns that cause pain. She helps clients untangle family of origin issues, forgiveness struggles, and feelings of isolation. Sessions aim to create space to talk through difficult memories and current dilemmas.

People working with Laurie often explore practical skills alongside deeper meaning work. She supports those facing divorce or separation, attachment issues, and challenges balancing caregiving roles. Her style is respectful, steady, and focused on building self-love and resilience.

Laurie offers short-term problem-focused work and longer-term exploration depending on what a person needs. She encourages clear communication about goals so each person can leave therapy with more confidence and a clearer sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Laurie uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help with trust issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation by looking at patterns that repeat over time.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. That way goals and sessions are guided by the person’s own values and needs rather than a preset agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Laurie will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment work, client-centered listening, or cognitive behavioral techniques fit best for their goals. She checks in regularly to adjust focus as concerns change and progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms and needs. Video calls work well for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels better. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity of care when schedules change.
