About Laura
Laura Chinnici is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, self-esteem, motivation, relationship and intimacy questions, and issues related to sexuality and alternative lifestyles.
She often helps people who are dealing with addiction, grief, parenting stress, chronic illness, and career transitions. Family of origin issues and communication problems are part of her practice when they affect current relationships and patterns. She also lists work around ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions use straightforward methods. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools for practical coping skills and mood management.
Narrative approaches are used to help people name and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change habits or increase motivation. Conversations are focused, direct, and grounded in daily life challenges rather than abstract theory.
Laura asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and follows what matters most to them. In practice this means sessions start with the person’s immediate concerns and the therapist listens to understand how family patterns or current relationships affect daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to notice thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep issues, low mood, and motivation by teaching simple exercises and small behavioral steps.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to manage stress and strong emotions. These techniques are often used alongside CBT to support mood regulation and calmer responses to triggers.
Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods in early sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The client’s feedback guides the focus going forward.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. The emphasis is on practical ways to integrate therapy into everyday life rather than on a specific format.
