About Laine
Laine Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Georgia. She brings 10 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on relationship, family, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Laine works with people who want a calm, steady presence while they sort through painful or confusing moments. Clients can expect a warm, listening approach that centers their experience.
Laine aims to create an atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She uses clear, everyday language and simple steps so progress feels manageable.
Laine combines attachment-based ideas with emotionally-focused and client-centered methods. She pays attention to connection patterns and to the immediate feelings people bring into the room.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help manage strong emotions and increase self-awareness. Her background includes a decade of direct clinical work helping people recover from trauma, including sexual assault and abuse, and address related issues like panic, post-traumatic stress, and personality concerns.
She also supports people dealing with family of origin problems, domestic violence aftereffects, and multicultural stressors. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and Laine accepts international clients.
She encourages those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by relationship and life stress to reach out and begin the matching process.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Laine often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how people connect and respond to each other. This approach helps when relationship patterns feel stuck or when old attachment wounds shape current behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another key approach she draws on; it focuses on identifying core feelings and changing interaction patterns that keep people feeling cut off or unsafe. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her style as well, keeping the client's perspective central and creating a nonjudgmental space for conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laine treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they check what feels useful and adjust the plan as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to share thoughts between sessions or to fit therapy into busy days. These options make it easier to connect from different places and schedules while still working on relationship, trauma, and emotional goals.
