Frequently Asked Questions

I offer online therapy to residents in California, so if you live in the state, we can work together!

If you live outside California and still want to work together, we can discuss psychology-informed coaching, which is somewhat different but can still deliver the same desired outcomes. Let’s discuss this in depth at your first consultation – call (831) 477-7007 or email lauriechristysessions@gmail.com.

Pro-rated sessions are available. In-person intensives are available. We can discuss the types of intensives with a no-fee phone appointment. I have pre-set packages, but individualized ones have often been created to meet a person’s specific needs and goals.

To avoid paying the full fee for your scheduled session, please provide 72 hours’ notice by text at (831) 477-7007 or by email lauriechristysessions@gmail.com. Your time is reserved for you, so if you are late, I will still be here ready for you throughout the final minute of your session.

Who comes to receive support from me, why they come, and what they say remains 100 percent confidential, with the following exceptions:

Elder, child, or disabled abuse

Specific plans to harm oneself

Specific plans to harm another or another’s property

Sessions can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. There are two types of therapy and coaching:

  • People come for a specific current issue. This can last anywhere from a few sessions to a few years. Each person’s style is unique. We can discuss your needs and preferences when we meet.
  • People who would like a long-term support place. This is what I opted for when I looked for my own therapist/coach. After you resolve and address initial issues, you have a place to keep getting support with manifesting a life you love, shifting any next-level patterns that become clear to you, and getting help when the unexpected occurs.

Therapy begins with what is in the way of your desired world, while coaching starts with the foundation of creating a map to manifest your ideal world.

The coaching track also allows for communication sessions with animals.

I spend a lot of my life laughing, especially in sessions with my clients. Life is meant to be playful. Let’s play creatively with ways to create happiness and joy in your life, thus the lives of all you touch!

A lot of therapy and coaching is finding the balance between what can be transformed and what needs to be navigated. People have different beliefs about this, and I go with your own value system.

I will help you change what you wish to change, find patience for what has not yet been changeable, and navigate a satisfying balance between the two.

I have a heart for humans and animals. I’ve been put through many very intense and unexpected challenges in this life, and I have come out stronger and more grateful each time.

I have worked with diverse people who have experienced great complexities and respect each person and animal, always looking to the heart of the matter.

I always felt I was put on earth to do so and came equipped with the gifts and mysteries of this gracious universe.

I have genuine respect and honor for people from a wide range of lifestyles, practices, and beliefs. As long as your intention is ethical and positive, I can genuinely honor your life as you wish to construct it.

I was a regular, daily, eyes-closed meditator for decades and then became a spontaneous one. Life and meditation often co-exist. Meditation can Be Deeply Helpful!

Yes.

Great question. I help people to understand better their animal family members’ viewpoints, feelings, intentional purposes, and needs. During your initial no-fee 15-minute consultation, we determine whether therapy or coaching is the best match for your overall needs.

Animal communication sessions go under coaching.
