About Laura
Laura Amor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and concerns around family and commitment.
In sessions she keeps conversations straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered methods to learn what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools help people name and work through painful emotional patterns.
Laura often brings mindfulness practices into sessions to reduce rumination and increase attention to the present moment. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns that come from early relationships. Together these approaches give options for short-term coping and deeper exploration.
Her style is collaborative: she listens, identifies immediate steps, and checks in about what is working. Topics commonly addressed include communication problems, divorce and separation, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose. She also offers support around hospice, end-of-life concerns, and blended family issues.
Clients can expect clear explanations about methods and goals in early sessions. The clinician invites questions about the plan and adjusts as needed. This plain, practical way of working is intended to help people fit therapy into busy lives.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's priorities and immediate concerns. That approach is about listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and shaping sessions around the client’s goals. It helps when someone wants practical support and clearer next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT offers concrete strategies for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns that can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help name painful emotions and change recurring interaction patterns when relationships are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process includes reviewing what has helped before and what feels doable now.
