I use an eclectic approach in therapy with a variety of theoretical orientations including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, Positive Psychology, Narrative, and Mindfulness techniques.
Goal setting is critical in the therapy process. I collaboratively create goals with my clients, because I am working with them to achieve these goals. If a client has several difficulties and feels overwhelmed by their goals, then I will help them to identify an overarching goal or a goal to target, that we can work on together.

Lauralee Fuhrmann LCSW. Approach is client-centered, strengths-based. It can be difficult to open-up and talk about life-stressors to a stranger. Sometimes, we can feel unheard or alone, or just need someone who can be a helping, compassionate, and nonjudgmental ear. In therapy, we can mend fractured and fragmented pieces of ourselves that have been damaged by past relationships, and trauma. Together, we can bring out positive change in our lives; we can challenge negative cognitions and dissonance. Together, we can begin the path of healing.

Attachment-Based Therapy for those struggling with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, & relationship trauma - Most of us weren’t taught about emotions or how to care for them. But emotions follow us through our whole life and play an important role in how we relate to ourselves and to other people. When we don't learn to care for and communicate our emotions in a healthy way, we have a harder time in adulthood establishing healthy attachments to others and feeling secure within ourselves. This is often to case for those of us who have experienced trauma, emotional neglect, or betrayal in the past.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
