Laine Briggs, LMFT

Laine Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and holds licensure in both Georgia and Washington. She concentrates on relationship and family concerns and on trauma and abuse, including sexual trauma. Laine focuses on building an open space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. She uses plain language and a calm approach to help people name what is happening and find small steps forward. She also supports people coping with depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Her work often addresses family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and the long effects of domestic violence and sexual assault. She also offers help around panic attacks, personality concerns, and post-traumatic stress. Laine pays attention to multicultural factors and the ways identity shapes healing. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and on emotionally-focused methods to help people reconnect and process strong emotions. The Gottman Method tools are used when relationship skills and communication need concrete practice. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding and managing intense moments. Laine speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients. She emphasizes small, practical changes and works collaboratively to set goals that fit each person’s life. If you’re ready to begin, she invites you to take the next step and schedule a match and appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It helps people notice repeated ways of relating and try new, healthier responses in their closest relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotions that drive conflicts and distance in relationships. It helps partners or individuals name and work through strong feelings so connections can change. Mindfulness Therapy uses grounding and awareness exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laine will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together she and the client decide which methods to try and tailor them as needs change over time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can still make many practical things easier - appointments can fit around work or caregiving, check-ins can be shorter when needed, and video or audio sessions let people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these approaches successfully in remote sessions, adapting exercises and practices so they work in real life.
