Laurie Lasner, UT Psychologist 14223399-2501

Laurie Lasner is a Utah licensed psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and big life changes. Laurie aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

She helps people who feel isolated or have trouble communicating get clearer about what they need. Many come for help with self-esteem, caregiver stress, or finding greater purpose. Sessions center on building self-compassion and better connections with others.

Laurie blends several evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape today’s patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her style is patient and collaborative. Laurie encourages straightforward conversation about goals and small, practical steps that fit daily life. She pays attention to moods, relationship patterns, and what gets in the way of feeling more capable.

With two decades of practice in Utah, she brings experience across mood disorders, coping with separation and divorce, forgiveness work, and women’s issues. Laurie supports caregivers facing burnout and helps people reclaim connection and self-love. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Laurie’s approaches inform online therapy

Laurie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and bonds. This approach helps people understand why they feel distant, clingy, or mistrustful in relationships and supports building healthier ways of connecting.

She also uses Client-Centered techniques that prioritize the person’s own goals and perspectives. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. The plan can change over time based on how things are progressing and what the client needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to schedule around caregiving responsibilities or work commitments.
