About Laine

Laine Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Georgia and Washington and helps people navigate relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and struggles with depression and grief. Laine speaks English and Spanish and emphasizes a warm, direct way of working.

Laine creates a calm space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. She aims to listen first, then help clients name patterns and make small changes that feel doable. Sessions focus on real-life steps, not just ideas.

Her approach draws on attachment-focused work to improve connection and on emotionally-focused tools to help partners and individuals name and move through intense feelings. She also uses client-centered methods and mindfulness practices to support self-awareness and self-esteem work.

Laine has helped people affected by sexual trauma, domestic violence, panic and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses concerns like communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and multicultural stressors. Her background includes supporting clients who identify with autism or Asperger syndrome.

She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and she guides each person at their own pace. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Laine welcomes international clients and works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Laine's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people connect with others. It helps identify attachment patterns and build more steady ways of relating, which can ease relationship tension and improve communication.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people pinpoint and move through strong emotions that get in the way of close relationships. EFT is often used for couples and for individuals dealing with grief, trauma responses, or intense anxiety.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or family conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laine will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then suggest which methods to try. She adjusts the work as clients give feedback so therapy matches what actually helps them.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to include sessions with people in different locations, which may be helpful when relationships span states or countries.
