Laurie Sansom, LPC, LCPC
About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the state of Missouri, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for the State of Kansas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota, and a Professional Counselor of Mental Health for the State of Delaware. I am a National Certified Counselor with the National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc.
I have been working with clients in outpatient settings since 2011. Typical concerns that I have experience with are anxiety and/or mild depression, relationship issues, supporting people through separation and divorce, grief and loss, parenting, stress management, PTSD, and support for faith/spiritual life.
I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy quite useful and effective, so I tend to use that whenever it seems fitting. I do my best to make sure that I ascertain what approach works best with each client. I want to be flexible and sensitive to your needs and personality. I believe that if you feel safe with me and that you can trust me, that's the most important aspect of working together. I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laurie Sansom. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Laurie has provided me with some worksheets that have been helpful for me to process the impending death of my friend. I signed up to Betterhelp for this reason.

Laurie is personable and professional rolled into one. She helps me to set goals and follows up on the goals that have been set. She helps me to resolve any issues that I bring up in our sessions and any that she feels that I may have. I would definitely recommend her!!!
