About Laurel
Laurel Meine is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. Laurel works with adults coping with major life changes and the emotional fallout that can follow.
Laurel’s background includes long-term work with people experiencing grief, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and substance use concerns. She also supports those struggling with abandonment, body image, avoidant personality patterns, and the effects of domestic violence. Her experience reaches into issues tied to aging, cancer, autism spectrum conditions, and co-occurring problems such as codependency.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus on each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to look at thought patterns and behaviors that maintain stress and anxiety. Emotionally-focused techniques are used to address attachment and relationship-related pain.
Laurel’s style is straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through what matters now, identify small changes that make day-to-day life easier, and practice skills that reduce distress. Work can include coping strategies for chronic pain, relapse prevention for addictions, or steps to manage intense emotions.
People who contact Laurel should expect a collaborative approach that looks at both current problems and past patterns. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling a first session, readers should confirm current session formats and any administrative details.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps individuals clarify values, make sense of feelings, and set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, stress, and addictive urges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) examines attachment and emotional patterns in relationships to reduce distress and improve bonds when relationship issues are central.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Laurel will discuss what feels most useful based on a person’s goals, history, and immediate needs. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize problem-solving, skills practice, or attention to emotional experience.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue regular work on stress, grief, or relapse prevention from wherever they are. Confirm available session formats and timing with the scheduling process so therapy fits into daily life.
