About Laura
Laura Amor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also addresses concerns linked to aging, caregiving, and questions about life purpose.
Laura frames conversations around what is happening now and what practical steps might help. She uses straightforward talk and listening to clarify what feels most pressing. Sessions are intended to look at patterns, coping skills, and immediate strategies that fit daily life.
Her approach draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, emotionally-focused methods, and psychodynamic thinking. That means she pays attention to present feelings, current thoughts and behaviors, and deeper patterns that come from past relationships. Therapy can include learning new ways to respond, practicing brief skills, and examining long-standing dynamics.
Clients can expect an emphasis on clear goals and regular checking in about progress. Laura aims to align short-term steps with longer term questions about meaning and direction. Conversations often mix practical problem solving with reflection on relationships and personal history.
Her practice welcomes people coping with caregiving stress, blended family pressures, separation and divorce, grief and end-of-life concerns, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation. For those wrestling with what comes next after a change, she helps clarify options and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful listening and helping the client lead the topics. Online sessions using this approach typically involve open discussion about what feels most immediate and practical, and the therapist mirrors and reflects to help clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Delivered online, CBT often uses short exercises, homework, and brief behavior experiments that fit into a client’s day-to-day routine.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal life. In an online setting this can mean tracking emotional responses during conversations and trying new ways of expressing needs or setting boundaries.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That discussion can change as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone or video sessions can be chosen later based on what best suits the client’s schedule and technology.
