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 offers care in English and Spanish. She helps people who are facing relationship strain, family tensions, trauma, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem.

Laine focuses on creating an open space where people can talk about painful memories and ongoing worries without judgment. She blends practical listening with gentle guidance so conversations stay focused and useful.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and straightforward tools to try between sessions. Her work draws on relationship-focused methods such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, along with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. These methods guide how she looks at communication patterns, emotional responses, and ways to rebuild connection after hurt.

Mindfulness practices are also used to help manage overwhelming feelings and panic moments. Laine has particular experience supporting people who have survived sexual assault and abuse, those coping with post-traumatic stress, and individuals dealing with family-of-origin wounds. She also addresses multicultural concerns and the specific needs of autistic adults and people with Asperger syndrome when those issues affect daily life and relationships.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Laine emphasizes practical next steps and steady pacing. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to see if her style fits their needs.

Online support

How relationship work and trauma therapy translate online

Laine uses the Gottman Method to look at how people interact and to find small, practical ways to change repeating patterns that cause conflict. Gottman-informed work focuses on communication habits, rebuilding trust, and managing criticism and withdrawal. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to notice how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions; this helps when fear of rejection or distance keeps coming up.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Laine will talk with each person about their goals, their history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotion-focused work, attachment ideas, or client-centered listening, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give options that fit daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for relationship work, phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth connections, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing reminders and short reflections. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on steady progress.
