About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Kansas, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota. I have been working with clients in outpatient settings since 2011. Typical concerns that I have experience with are anxiety and/or mild depression, relationship issues, marriage counseling, supporting people through separation and divorce, grief and loss, parenting, stress management, PTSD, and support for faith/spiritual life. I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy quite useful and effective, so I tend to use that whenever it seems fitting. I do my best to make sure that I ascertain what approach works best with each client. I want to be flexible and sensitive to your needs and personality. I believe that if you feel safe with me and that you can trust me, that's the most important aspect of working together. I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laurie Sansom. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Laurie is understanding, supportive, kind, and professional. She helps me to stay accountable and to keep working toward my goals.
She has been so kind and supportive.
Laurie is awesome! She has worked with me to ensure I am getting what I want out of this experience she consistently offers advise and provides possible solutions so that I can reach my goals. This has been my best counseling experience.
She listens, responds with compassion and truth, brings you back to your goals, and helps you make meaningful progress.
Best counselor I’ve come across. She is someone I feel actually understands me and the parts she doesn’t, she takes the time to try to. She’s great at helping me to see what I need to work on in a gentle. Safe and positive way, and guides me in a positive way to curb my fears. Very grateful to her.
Laurie is a really good listener and very professional. She guides you through conversations and feelings but doesn't lead you to a specific destination. She gives you the space to do your own work and doesn't rush or push you. I really enjoy having her for a therapist.
She is wonderful! Great listener and sense of humor. She really gives me the push I need.
Laurie is awesome! She does a great job holding me accountable to help me reach my goals to have a more enjoyable life!
Laurie is very welcoming and genuine. My thoughts and feels are always heard and she works with me to change behaviors that do not align with my values or goals. I really believe that Laurie cares about my progress and me, as a person!
I appreciate Laurie! She is a great balance of encouraging while also challenging me!
My what a blessing Laurie Sansom is as a Christian counselor. Very helpful with homework and challenging my habits of behavior and reminding me I can choose to change. Hope is what I have after years of counseling, secular as well as Christian. Practical ways to change after over 30 years of bad habits or very negative patterns. Thank you so very much, well worth waiting to get you as a counselor. God Bless you and all associated with Betterhelp. Shalom!
Laurie is very relatable and easy to talk to. She is insightful and comforting while still challenging me to continue to work on my goals when I am avoiding the next necessary steps. I highly recommend her for those who are working through the grieving process and/or trying to improve relationships.
She takes the time to understand exactly what you need to make positive changes.
Laurie has been very available and willing to listen and help me with my anxiety and depression. She had presented me with lots of tools to use in overcoming my challenges.
Laurie is great! She is helpful and encouraging
Laurie listens well and always offers helpful perspectives and suggestions. I like very much that her counsel is Christian centered.
Laurie Sansom is very effective at managing my care! I am a busy working mom and I appreciate that whenever I log on to betterhelp.com Laurie will have pertinent worksheets, tools, and ideas for me to think about and apply!
So far I really enjoy working with Laurie :)
I am really grateful for the advice, guidance and resources Laurie has given me. She always replies to messages promptly and I feel like I'm talking to someone I have known for years. Thank you Laurie, and thank you for this fantastic service.
Laurie listens to what I have to say and has provided me with a lot of great resources.
Laurie is respectful & listens. She guides me when I give her the opportunity but it is also my responsibility to let her guide me. She reached out to me when I hadn’t messaged in a while, which I think is awesome because it’s technically my responsibility to keep the therapy going & to initiate the conversation. But, sometimes I’m not good about that & it’s not because I don’t want to talk. I just don’t know what to say. So, her reaching out & simply asking how I was really means a lot.
Laurie is so understanding so approachable. I feel so confident in having her in my corner.
Laurie is very understanding, patient and thorough. She understands my situation and gives me unbiased advice. She sends me information that pertains to my situation, such as additional questionnaires and literature to read to help me understand my situation. She is always available to converse with via messaging in a reasonable time frame. Laurie is sympathetic, yet supportive in a way to help me grow and improve. I highly recommend her.
Laurie is great and listens very well! She makes me feel very comfortable and confident!
Laurie is knowledgeable, approachable, and well qualified. She clearly cares very deeply - even messaging out of hours when she deemed it necessary. Her advice and support has helped me in what has been the absolute worst time of my life.
Laurie was great, she helped me recover during a very challenging time in my life.
I would recommend Laurie Sansom as someone who listens well, is knowledgeable and seems to intuitively know what I need to hear. She is professional and kind and we are making progress. I am glad BetterHelp assigned her as my counselor and would highly recommend her to anyone needing counseling.
My experience with Laurie has been amazing, and she helped in so many ways. I am very grateful for the support, and the insight, without which I would not have been able to get through a difficult period. I would absolutely recommend Laurie to others.
I highly recommend Laurie. She listens well, asks questions to clarify the problem and then makes helpful suggestions. She offers more than one therapy option and seems genuinely concerned with my issue.
Laurie is someone who really takes time for you and understands you. She has a lot of experience and can help you with different issues. She also respects your choices and really listens to what you have to say. I can recommend Laurie for sure!
