About Louise
Louise Laine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anger and other strong emotions. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and cope with life changes so daily life feels easier. Her style is calm and client-led, so conversations move at a pace that feels right for the person in front of her.
With 25 years of experience, she draws from work across independent practice, education, and career settings.
Background and approach
That range means she has seen common patterns and offers simple strategies that often fit real-life demands. Sessions typically center on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different reactions, and practice new habits that lower reactivity. She also uses existential and Jungian ideas when those perspectives help someone find meaning or self-understanding. People come to her for issues like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, addiction, career stress, and self-esteem.
She also works with aging and geriatric issues, forgiveness, life purpose, narcissism-related patterns, panic disorder, social anxiety, and women's issues. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will make everyday life better. Louise practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
She invites people to explore practical steps, personal insight, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches to change in online sessions
Client-centered therapy is built around the person's priorities and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead so goals and topics come from what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it is useful for anxiety, anger, panic, and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which many people find helpful for stress and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps identify which tools and perspectives feel most useful for day-to-day changes.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, brainstorming, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules while working on stress, anger, relationships, and life transitions.
