About Louise

Louise Laine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by change, loss, or high stress. Her style is calm and client-led so conversations move at a pace that feels right for each person.

She has worked across independent practice, education, and career settings. That range gives her a practical view of everyday pressures like work strain, parenting demands, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and direct - she listens, reflects, and helps find steps that fit the client’s life. Louise brings together existential ideas about meaning and choice with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She uses these methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, panic, and addictive behaviors.

The work often involves naming values, spotting unhelpful thinking, and practicing small changes between sessions. People also turn to her for support with grief, relationship stress, self-esteem, career decisions, and issues around aging. She aims to help clients feel more grounded and to slow down when life feels rushed or chaotic.

Her sessions emphasize collaboration. Clients set goals and she offers practical strategies and reflective questions to move toward those goals. Louise works in Michigan and provides care in English.

Approaches Louise names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Existential Therapy here focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and personal values. Sessions invite people to name what matters and to consider how choices shape daily life, which can help when coping with loss, life transitions, or a sense of stuckness.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on a supportive, listening stance. The therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects back what is said, helping people feel heard and to clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for building confidence and working through emotional pain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioral experiments between sessions. CBT can be effective for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between meetings and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent without long travel times.
