About Laura

Laura Wiseman is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works with concerns such as parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. Laura aims to build a trusting connection first so people feel heard and understood before moving forward.

Her style is warm and engaging with a focus on the person in front of her. She listens without judgment and adjusts the pace to what a client needs. Sessions often mix practical problem-solving with space to talk through feelings and life changes.

Laura draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy tools when they fit the goal. The result is a tailored approach that balances exploring emotions with concrete steps for coping and change.

Over two decades she has supported people dealing with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence impacts, fertility-related stress, social anxiety, and career challenges. Her background includes work with individuals navigating family problems and complex life transitions.

Laura practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. She welcomes questions about the process and encourages people to start by describing what feels most pressing. This helps shape a plan that matches each person’s needs.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and topics. Online sessions using this approach let people speak about what matters most while the therapist reflects and helps organize thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT sessions can include short exercises or homework to practice skills between meetings and track progress.

The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship patterns and communication skills. When used online it can help people learn clearer ways to talk about conflict and rebuild connection through guided exercises and focused conversation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress and priorities become clearer.

The practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so timing and length fit your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and schedule appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities.
