About Laurie
Laurie Tucker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. Laurie lists anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship stress among her areas of focus.
She uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is most pressing. Sessions look at the problems people bring and the habits that keep them stuck. Laurie draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people test new ways of thinking and acting.
Motivational interviewing is part of the work when someone is struggling to make a change, such as with substance use or process addictions. Laurie also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to help people understand patterns that come from earlier relationships or painful events.
Her style is solution-minded and practical. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps and build skills they can use between sessions. Common topics include communication problems, codependency, family of origin issues, shame and guilt, panic attacks, and ongoing stress.
People can expect clear goal-setting and regular review of progress. Laurie encourages honest talk about what is working and what needs adjusting. For next steps, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to schedule an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. In online sessions this means time is given to identify concerns and priorities, and the therapist follows the client's lead to build useful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful habits. In remote sessions CBT techniques can be practiced together and adapted to everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That discussion includes reviewing what has or hasn't helped before and choosing small, testable steps to try between meetings.
The site lists how to get started, but readers should confirm current session formats before booking since those details are not provided here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can be held during a break at work or between other commitments. Therapists adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between sessions without requiring a particular location.
