About La
La Rue De Vries is an AASW social worker with seven years of experience working in Australia. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She offers a direct, conversational approach that focuses on feelings and everyday problems.
La Rue keeps sessions straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep causing pain and helps people name the feelings underneath. Conversations aim to make emotions clearer so practical steps can follow.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment shape what happens between people and within oneself. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to explore values, change unhelpful thinking and build small, workable skills.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person. La Rue encourages short-term goals alongside deeper emotional work so people leave with things they can try between appointments. She will also help with issues related to abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and communication breakdown.
La Rue speaks English and works with adults in Australia. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
La Rue uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult emotions and attachment patterns that affect relationships and self-view. EFT work focuses on feeling and emotional moments to clarify what matters in relationships or personal patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take small steps towards those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise practical skills that change behaviour and mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. La Rue will discuss options and tailor sessions according to a person’s needs, goals and preferences so the method fits how they want to work. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. When you begin, the short matching questionnaire and the first session will clarify how sessions will be scheduled and run.
