About Laura
Laura Lekocevic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish.
She focuses on practical, everyday concerns like caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses family problems, issues tied to immigration, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness. The work includes talking through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means she listens to what matters most, helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors connect, and teaches simple mindfulness skills to manage strong feelings. Trauma-focused work is used when past harm is part of the problem.
In sessions she aims to make it straightforward to share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Practical strategies and small steps are emphasized so people can try changes between meetings. The focus is on clear, doable tools for daily life.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The payment model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what someone says. Online sessions using this method let people describe what matters most and receive responses that clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In an online session CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try short exercises to change reactions between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting plans over time rather than sticking to a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can remove travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or make it simpler to attend in Spanish or English without needing to commute. The focus is on practical ways to use sessions for everyday challenges and symptoms rather than on technical details of how the meeting is hosted.
