About Laine
Laine Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She is licensed as an LMFT in Georgia and Washington and focuses on practical help for people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and depression.
Background and approach
She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who prefer online formats. Laine prefers a calm, open style in sessions.
She invites honest conversations and helps clients name feelings and patterns that cause pain. She uses approaches like Gottman Method work and attachment-based ideas to clarify interactions and improve connection.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful. Clients can expect gentle questioning, reflective listening, and exercises meant to practice new ways of relating.
Mindfulness and client-centered techniques are woven into sessions when they fit the goal. Laine also addresses grief, self-esteem, and the effects of past abuse or trauma.
She helps people who struggle with communication, guilt, shame, panic, and complex family histories to chart a course forward. Autism and multicultural concerns are included in her focus areas.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different needs. International clients may be supported.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step sets the work in motion. Laine encourages small first steps and focuses on steady progress.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence how people connect today. It helps identify expectations people bring into relationships and guides steps to feel more supported with others. The Gottman Method centers on practical skills for improving communication and reducing harmful patterns. It uses specific exercises and conversations to change how people argue and reconnect emotionally. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's experience and uses empathic listening to help people find their own solutions and build self-trust.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try ideas, notice what works, and adjust the plan as needed to fit the person's life and relationships.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people practice conversations and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or cameras are limited. Chat and messaging offer quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style moments, and more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and skill-building.
