About Louise
Louise Laine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life changes. She also helps people facing issues with self-esteem, addiction, career decisions, and anger.
Louise uses a client-led style where the person sets the pace and the topics. Sessions are conversational and practical. She draws on approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, existential questions, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices to suit different needs.
Her background spans private practice, education, and career-related settings. That variety shapes a down-to-earth way of talking about problems and options. People can expect a focus on concrete coping skills as well as time to reflect on meaning and values.
In sessions Louise listens for what matters most to the client and then helps name small, manageable steps. She may introduce CBT strategies for unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, or reflective prompts that come from existential and Jungian ideas.
Practical matters are part of the work. She discusses goals, checks progress, and adjusts the approach when needed. Clients looking for a steadier method of support or short-term coaching-style work will find a mix of conversation and techniques aligned to their situation.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and pace. It means the therapist listens and follows what the client brings, which helps when someone needs to sort out parenting stress, relationship tension, or major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments. These are useful for panic, anger, and ongoing worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is reviewed.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to keep momentum between appointments and to introduce exercises people can use at home.
