About Laura
Laura Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 17 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and related concerns stated in her profile. She talks with people about parenting strain, career pressures, and problems that affect daily life.
Her sessions tend to be practical and direct. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people pick a next step they can try between meetings. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness.
Laura also uses client-centered and motivational strategies to help people set goals and stay motivated. Mindfulness methods are offered to manage intense feelings and improve sleeping or attention. These approaches are used together to address issues such as grief, addiction, anger, and compassion fatigue.
She often focuses on family-of-origin problems, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment wounds, and communication or commitment issues. Parenting and fatherhood topics are part of her stated focus areas, as are caregiver stress and codependency patterns.
People who come for help with bipolar, ADHD, intimacy-related problems, or career crossroads will find practical skills, conversation about options, and help planning realistic next steps. The style is collaborative and task-oriented, with attention to how work, money, and family life affect wellbeing.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and communicate. She also draws on client-centered and motivational interviewing techniques to set goals and maintain momentum. Together these approaches are discussed and adjusted with the client so the plan fits their needs and preferences. Figuring out which methods to use is part of the collaborative process. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Phone or video sessions can also help if someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quicker meeting during a break. The therapist will help match the format and approach to daily life and goals.CAreas of focus
