About Laura
Laura Chinnici is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 13 years of practice. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, sleep problems, motivation, and self-esteem. She also works with intimacy and sexuality questions, and with people managing addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Her background includes supporting people with a wide range of issues. That list includes parenting strain, career setbacks, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also addresses concerns tied to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and end-of-life matters. Alternative sexual practices and kink are explicitly within her focus areas.
In sessions she uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based work, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Those methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping steps, and clarify values and goals.
Laura describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set short-term goals and practical steps for daily life. Conversations tend to focus on manageable changes, routines that support sleep and mood, communication skills, and problem-solving strategies.
Her practice language is English and she does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. In practice this means conversations that follow what the client brings up and prioritize the client's goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and routines affect mood. Online CBT sessions often include tracking small behavior changes, scheduling practice between meetings, and testing new ways of coping for anxiety or sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to use. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress and needs become clearer.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting sessions into busy lives. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to meet during a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. They also let people continue care while managing medical appointments, caregiving duties, or work schedules.
