About Laura
Laura Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and major life changes. She communicates directly and practically about everyday pressures so people can start where they are.
Her work focuses on clear, moment-to-moment problem solving and building on what already works in a person's life. She treats addiction-related concerns including drug and alcohol issues, and she helps people manage panic attacks and ongoing anxiety. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, and struggles around self-worth.
Laura supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency patterns, and the emotional impact of life transitions. She offers guidance on relationship concerns and on finding meaning or direction when life feels stalled. Her approach treats each concern as practical problems to be worked through together.
In sessions she emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their story and draws on strengths the client already has. She encourages small, manageable steps and straightforward strategies that fit daily life. Decisions about goals and pace are made jointly so the work stays relevant to the client's priorities.
To begin a working relationship she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule the first session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on methods that produce clear, usable changes. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding strategies, identifying triggers, and practicing short behavioral changes to reduce symptoms. Another approach tackles addictive behaviors by mapping patterns, identifying high-risk situations, and planning concrete steps to reduce harm and build alternatives.Figuring out the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. If a method needs adjustment, changes are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It can also allow sessions that match your daily routine, whether you need a longer weekly hour or a brief visit during a work break.
