About Laurie
Laurie Mombay is a Maryland-based counselor with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. She uses clear, practical strategies to help people move from feeling stuck to making workable changes. Her approach aims to give straightforward tools people can use between sessions.
She trained in pastoral counseling and has spent much of her career in outpatient settings, employee assistance programs, and criminal justice work including victim advocacy and corrections.
Background and approach
That mix of experiences informs how she listens and how she responds in sessions. Laurie draws on both cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based approaches to help with mood and behavior challenges. Sessions with Laurie are described by her as compassionate and non-judgmental while also being focused and goal-oriented.
She balances listening with gentle challenge, helping people test new behaviors and track what works. Insight matters, she says, but the next step is trying new ways of coping in everyday life. Laurie has worked with people dealing with complex trauma and severe mood problems, and she is comfortable addressing issues like panic attacks, sleep disruption, and relationship strain.
She also helps people who struggle with impulsivity, personality difficulties, and questions about life purpose. Her core methods include cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and solution-focused techniques that aim to produce practical change. Laurie offers in-person and online session formats and tailors her suggestions to each person’s day-to-day realities.
She welcomes conversations about next steps and how therapy might fit into a person’s routine.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Laurie uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps like changing thought patterns, tracking moods, and practicing different responses to anxiety or panic.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful for managing intense moods, reducing impulsive actions, and improving daily coping.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Laurie aims to match techniques to each person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for shorter, ongoing contact between sessions. These options give flexibility to schedule workday check-ins, evening sessions, or brief skill coaching when needed.
