About Laura
Laura Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience. She works with parenting concerns, self-esteem, career struggles, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from New York.
Laura describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps people can use. She helps people name patterns they learned growing up and notice how those patterns affect current relationships and choices. Conversations are meant to clarify goals and identify manageable changes.
In practice she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person’s priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot thinking patterns that get in the way and test new behaviors. Narrative therapy work helps people reframe old stories about themselves and their family roles.
Her approach is straightforward and task-oriented when needed. That can mean setting small, doable goals between sessions and checking progress. It can also mean pausing to reflect on meaning and personal values when life transitions feel overwhelming.
Before a first session people fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first meeting. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and following their pace. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps the client set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for low self-esteem, career blocks, and coping with life changes. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and life choices. It can help people who are rethinking purpose or facing major transitions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s situation and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, shorten routine check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Ask for current session options when you complete the initial questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
