Li Laurent
,BSc, MA, EMDRAA, AASW
I'm a little unusual as a therapist in that I quite obviously lead a life outside the psychological arena & I don't make a point of pretending otherwise. In the world's briefest biography, I'm an English native living in Australia, working online with clients from all over the world whilst I continue to work internationally as a singer-songwriter. Now I am aware that the duality of these two spaces is almost nearly entirely unheard of, and therapists tend to seemingly only exist in therapy. But my job is to help you feel better, live your best life, & be your fullest self, so at the very least, I should be an example of what that looks like.
All informalities aside, I'm a trauma specialist, published researcher, AMHSW, EMDR practitioner & director of Honest Company. I've trained in prestigious programs across Australia, England & America to gain professional qualifications from some of the most exceptional professionals in the field to date. I work with 18+, couples & have extensive experience with military veterans, having mobilised the first social work sector for veterans with complex trauma in the UK. I work very hard because I love what I do, so I'm constantly learning and making sure I stay at the forefront of psychotherapy and psychology advancements. Therapeutic intervention is an evolving animal and your treatment should reflect that.
I (genuinely) believe that mental freedom lies in our ability to be our authentic selves, & in order to do that, we have to know who that is, and what they need to thrive. That might look like processing trauma, developing boundaries, navigating an existential crisis, or exploring the very thing we're unhelpfully trying to avoid. That's why therapy, the right therapist, & some keen application of "do it your self -help", is the absolute Willy Wonka of golden tickets to a life you like living. You don't have to put on a"brave face" here, pretend, or bend to social norms that most of us don't agree with or like anyway. Just show up. If you want a direct authentic, eclectic therapist who can make therapy actually feel therapeutic, maybe even refreshing - you've found her.

"I find this program more participative and collaborative than traditional therapy. It does require you to show up in different ways, but it's a great method when you commit to it."

"I´m very happy with the Online-Therapy program. I´ve been looking for a therapist for a while and i finally found someone who fits just perfectly to me. I´ve been working on the program for the last five months and i think the worksheets are super helpful and they give me a great orientation what to work on. As i like CBT in general this was the best way for me to do therapy!"

"I have been using Online-Therapy.com for a month with a basic subscription and am quite happy with the therapist I'm working with. There are multiple worksheets that you're assigned to help you work through issues and my therapist always provides helpful feedback and suggestions. Even with the basic subscription, I feel like I'm getting more from this format than I have with therapy sessions in the past."

"So far so good, this is the longest amount of time I have been stuck to a therapist. I usually only last about a day or 2, but she showed the most interest and understanding considering this is all done online with any live sessions."

"So far, my experience has been nothing but positive. The dialogue with the therapist has been open and honest. I haven't had much time to progress in the program due to a lot of time being spent at work paired with the Thanksgiving holiday, but I am looking forward to diving in deeper.
I appreciate that this option exists, and I give large kudos to the entire team!"

"It's been a really nice experience so far. I'm able to work with my therapist to understand my issues and we work through ways that can help me around it. The communication has been easy to follow and by far it has made the more challenging aspects easier to do. There are so many useful tools that really helped me establish some markers and helped me create a good routine. It's exactly what I wanted from therapy and this format works for me. I've already been noticing small changes and it keeps getting better every day."

"Li Laurent is an incredible person and therapist. Her no-nonsense way of talking was always such a huge relief in all my sessions with her. I spent various months working with her, and my family has even complimented me on the massive growth I have shown. I attribute my growth of self confidence and generally more calm demeanor to the amount of peace Li taught me to have. Accepting things as what they are is an ENORMOUS part of this process. And recognizing what your core beliefs about yourself are and then filtering out what are the problematic thoughts changed my life. I will forever be grateful for the work Li has put in to our sessions and in my mental health growth."

"Online-Therapy is a great platform and my therapist Li Laurent is absolutely amazing. I love her approach and she speak with me clearly, she tells me the truth even if it can be hard and this is really helping me.
I made progress in less than two weeks, my anxiety is GONE and I’m already moving forward on dealing with other issues. I didn’t think this could br possible or that it would take a long time.
I’m glad I picked this platform."

"So far really enjoying our therapist! Love the way we can communicate on the worksheets, it's like having mini-session. The only thing that has been a struggle is the scheduling platform."

"Online Therapy, and my therapist in particular (Li Laurent) have been an amazing help. When I first joined this site, I was in one of the lowest points of my life and I knew if I didn't get help, I wasn't going to make it.
One of the best decisions I ever made. Online-Therapy.com's CBT approach is so much more helpful than I could have imagined, I've been to in-person counselling and it was not for me, this alternative was exactly what I needed and I could work through the worksheets at my own pace, and select a plan within my own budget. Even if you're struggling financially, trust me it's a worthy investment. What you learn and the help you receive can change your life around so that you can actually deal with your problems and redirect your life in the direction you want.
A thousand thank you's!"
