About Laura
Laura Amor is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and low self-esteem. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Laura focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
She builds sessions around what a person brings to the room and tailors conversations to fit specific needs. That may include looking at patterns that keep stress and worry alive, practicing new ways to communicate, or identifying small habits that improve mood and energy. The work aims to be straightforward and usable between sessions.
Laura blends client-centered therapy with other approaches to match each person’s goals. She may use cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused ideas to improve how people connect and relate. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives can also inform the work when helpful.
With a long history of practice in New York, Laura has supported people through life transitions, caregiving challenges, end-of-life concerns, and relationship disruptions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment patterns, and feelings such as guilt or isolation.
Sessions are guided by the individual’s needs and pace. Laura encourages clients to set clear goals and reviews progress as work continues. She aims to help people develop coping skills and a clearer sense of purpose.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Laura blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy into online work to meet practical needs. Client-centered therapy centers sessions on what the person brings, using listening and reflection to help people clarify goals and make choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and offers exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on feelings and attachment needs to help people improve how they relate and communicate.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration includes checking what feels useful, adjusting techniques, and setting small, measurable steps so progress is clear.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people work from a quieter place or a spot that saves time, which can help keep therapy consistent alongside work, caregiving, or other obligations.
