About Laura
Laura Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, grief and loss, parenting concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at making daily life a little easier to manage.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most stressful right now. Sessions often focus on coping skills for difficult days and problem-solving around immediate challenges. When grief or loss is part of the picture, the emphasis is on pacing, remembering, and practical strategies for moving through hard moments.
Her practice also addresses attachment issues and caregiver stress. She helps people improve communication at work or home and offers support for mood disorders and post-traumatic stress concerns. Forgiveness and repairing strained relationships are discussed in clear terms, with attention to steps that fit each person's life.
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions, using approaches that match the situation rather than a single fixed method. She aims to work with each person’s daily responsibilities and limits, so therapy can fit around work, family, and other demands. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; please confirm current session formats before booking.
Her practice is described in plain, practical terms to help a worried parent decide whether she might be a good fit. To begin, follow the site’s booking steps to complete the intake questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work on clear problems. One common approach she uses emphasizes practical coping strategies - teaching skills you can use on rough days to reduce symptoms of depression or stress. These techniques help with mood regulation and managing everyday tasks.Another frequently used approach focuses on processing grief and loss through paced conversation and memory work. This method breaks grieving into manageable steps and supports reclaiming routines that matter. Both approaches are problem-focused and aim to make daily life more manageable rather than relying on abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the initial work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also let people meet with licensed professionals from different locations, which can help when local options are limited or schedules are tight.
