About Laurie
Laurie McNamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Delaware with five years of professional experience. She focuses on practical concerns many people face, including stress, anxiety, relationships, career challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Laurie helps people talk through relationship tension and intimacy-related issues. She supports work-related concerns such as motivation, career decision making, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and issues affecting young adults and first responders.
In sessions Laurie uses clear, goal-minded methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build concrete skills. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy help people clarify what matters and reframe difficult stories.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations center on what needs to change and what steps are realistic given everyday life, work, and family demands. She works with each person to set short-term goals and practical actions.
People who want focused, action-oriented support may find this approach helpful. Laurie asks clients to consider what they want to do differently and then helps map small, doable steps toward those goals. Sessions emphasize real-world problem solving and clearer decision making.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Laurie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is about linking what you think, do, and feel to practical steps you can try between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen motivation when making life or career changes. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to look at the stories people tell about themselves and consider alternative, more useful ways of understanding those stories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays focused and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue work together across changes in routine while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps.
